Kevin played great Sunday. Hitting the first 13 greens in regulation, we made five birdies with putts all inside 12 feet which included two tap ins. With the way he was playing all week, we knew a low round was coming and we finally had a day where we had good yardages and could be aggressive.
With a 15mph wind blowing from the south and gusting up to 20, it makes the final five hole stretch play long and difficult. But once again, Kevin's hard work he has been putting in on his short game paid off as he was made three great up and downs on 14, 15 and 16 to keep the round together. We were unable to get it up and down from over the green on 17 but two great shots on 18 closed out the round with a nice par. His four under (66) shot us right up the leader board and we ended up with a T-16th finish.
This finish moves us to 100th on the FedEx points list and now gives us an opportunity to get into the limited field at The Memorial in two weeks. Since the Memorial is an invitational, the field of 120 players is filled by the current years FedEx list after the Byron Nelson. As of now, Monday morning, we are currently 111/120 in the field for the Memorial but all exempt players have until this Friday to enter the event.
Thanks for the blog. We enjoy reading and appreciate your detailed report from the links about our boy!
