Well, it's here...The Web.Com Finals. The details about how it all works are a little confusing. All I know is Kevin finished the regular season 13th on the money list and has earned a PGA Tour card for the 2013-14 season. But now, that is all thrown out the window and everyone starts the Finals with $0.00. At the end of the four tournaments, an additional 25 cards will be handed out (the top 25 finishers that do not already have a card) and then the ranking order of all 50 cards will be determined by the total money earned over the four events. This is important because there are tournaments where all the players from this category will not get into the field. So, obviously, the higher the ranking, the more playing opportunities.
After missing the cut in Omaha, I drove the ten hours over to Fort Wayne on Saturday. Kevin and I met around noon on Sunday and began our preparations for this week. We played nine hole practice rounds by ourselves on Sunday and Monday, working extremely hard on the short game. We spent lots of time around the greens chipping and putting. On Tuesday, we played a full 18 hole practice round and then the pro am on Wednesday. We had a good, solid four days of practice to start the week.
Thursday's first round was solid. Kevin continues to hit the ball well and shot a nice four under par round (68). Like most rounds, we left a few scoring opportunities out there but one was caused by faulty equipment. After hitting a perfect tee shot on the par five 4th, Kevin made a great swing with a hybrid and the ball flew 40 yards off line to the right. He still managed to make par but he knew he made a good swing and something had to be wrong with the club. After the round, we took it over to the equipment trailer and found out that the face was caved in. They were able to get him a new head and we headed out to the range for a little practice.
Today we tee off at 12:42.
