The kid played good today!! (four under par - 66) We got off to a slow start with a missed tough up and down on 10 (our first hole) for bogey. We added another bogey on our 4th hole with a 3-putt and we were two over par early in the round. But he didn't panic, showed great patience and let the round come to him.
It all got started when we least expected it. He flushed a 3 wood off the 15th tee that went 298 yards (according to Shotlink) and we were blocked out by a tree. We had to play about 10 yards left of the hole from only 100 yards but then he ends up making the putt for birdie. From there, we had a tap in birdie on the next hole and then made four in a row making the turn. We played a stretch of 8 holes in 6 under par and found ourselves only two off the lead. Kevin's last birdie found the cup from 55 feet on the par three 4th. He had a couple more good looks for birdie coming in that missed but also made three great up and downs to keep the round together. Statistically, we hit less fairways and greens today but we were never in trouble today (punching out). It was just a good solid round of golf with nothing special.
Kevin's five under total has us in a tie of 5th with two rounds to go. We tee off tomorrow with Ken Duke at 12:03. I also want to give an early birthday shout out to Brittany. Her birthday is tomorrow!! Happy Birthday Brittany!!
Seeing you both on TV. Yes...the boy is playing well!! Keep it going as we are pulling hard!
