After finishing 21st and locking up his PGA Tour card for the 2013-14 season at the Mylan Classic in Pittsburgh, Kevin decided to take the next week off and get ready for the final six events on the Web.Com. We all arrived here in Knoxville on Tuesday afternoon and played a late day practice round. I'm happy to say the Geraldine and the kids are with me again this week. With school starting next week, it will be the last time they will be able to come out. It has been a great summer break for them as they have been able to travel a total of four weeks this summer. Kevin did not play in the Wednesday pro am this week so he took me off site and we played 18 at Wind River. It was a nice relaxing day, getting away from the tournament course and playing some golf.
We teed off on Thursday at 12:30. Kevin played ok but we didn't get much out of the round. Three birdies and two bogeys had us shooting a one under par round (70). It was just one of those days when we were hitting it to 25-30 feet all day. It was nothing to be concerned about so we just hit a few balls after the round, worked on some bunker shots and called it a day.
Today we were the first group off at 7:30. With perfect greens for nine holes, Kevin took advantage starting the day with five straight birdies and had only 11 putts through nine holes. Making the turn, he added three more birdies and got it to eight under par through 14. Things slowed after making his first bogey on his 15th hole (#6) after a three putt. Then, on our 17th (#8), Kevin's only bad swing of the day came off the tee as he hooked a three wood out of bounds. Having to re-tee, he then hit a perfect three and nine iron to 15 feet and made the putt to save the bogey. He finished the day with a six under par (65). His seven under total puts us in a tie for third heading into the weekend.
We tee off tomorrow at 12:35 with Tim Wilkerson.
