It was a rainy, nasty day. With gusty winds, temperatures in the 50's and a steady rain all day, Kevin played a solid round shooting two under par (69). The conditions were brutal. The umbrella was up all day and everything was absolutely soaked through. I did the best I could but I was a drown rat out there. I went through three towels and it was still impossible to keep anything dry. But Kevin and I worked well together. We had a good, solid routine together and handled the conditions as good as anyone. He was able to make four birdies with only two bogeys. His two under par moved up to t-13th heading into Sunday.
Kevin's ball striking was excellent today in those conditions. He drove it good and hit 15 greens. A missed short putt on our 17th hole for par and then missing a six foot birdie putt on the last hole put a damper on what was a very solid round. Kevin is a bit upset about the missed scoring opportunities with the putter but when you look at the stats, he is ranked 15th in total putts and 12th in putts/GIR through three rounds.
Due to the forecast of heavy rain overnight and then the chances of rain going down tomorrow afternoon, the Tour pushed the tee times back. The fourth round will not start until 11:00am, teeing off again in threesomes off the 1st and 10th tees. Our tee time is 12:06 on #1 with Rafael Echenique and Tim Petrovic.
