Tour moves the Valspar at Innisbrook Golf Club, the Copperhead! Since the Players was last week with a great field, this tourney is back to an average field at best and the purse is significantly less money of course. Maybe the players will show up to the press conferences!
JT had the lead and was cruising, but then 16 and 18 missed the fairway and that was the ball game, Hovland was making birdies to run him down. 16 was a classic case of making the wrong decision to hit driver, he hit it left and was in jail, while Hovland hit an iron and then a great second shot for a birdie, JT chips out and then doesn't hit a great shot instead is in the bunker and makes bogey, same thing on 18.
Yep, JT had the lead and blew it. I'm not sure what advantage the driver would have given him even if he was in the fairway. The important move was to be in the fairway.
Tour is in Houston at Memorial Park a place I have played many times, but not since they closed it down for a total remake a few years ago. So none of the holes really look familiar to me. It's a rainy weekend in Houston and they have suspended play with Scottie crushing it this morning, shot 62 and has a 1 shot lead at -11 over Canadian Taylor Pendrith.
Min Woo Lee was unconscious today, shot a 63 and now leads by 5 over Scotte and 2 others and 4 over a kid named Tosti from Argentina by way of the Florida Gators.
Min Woo Lee, held on to win by one Scottie made a run at him but came up one shot short, as did Gary Woodland.
