Anybody know who's on his bag and if it's the permanent caddie or if he's still in "caddy try outs" phase?

I could be wrong but when he was on the featured hole it looked like Kortan. If it is, I assume he will have to find one over the coming weeks because Kortan can't do it forever obviously. But maybe I saw wrong too

Unless Kortan quits his real job ...

If Sam lives up to his potential I bet it would be more lucrative https://govsalaries.com/kortan-brian-j-137121046

That's not what he actually makes. Lots of coaches only get a portion of their salary from the school with he remainder coming from private entities like booster clubs, radio shows, coaching clinics, sponsorship deals, etc.

From what I can tell on PGA app, Hole 1 he found the greenside bunker and then sailed it 25 yards over the green. Great bogey save coming back. That could've been a disastrous start.

Sam played pretty damn well today. Took advantage of the Par 5s and didn't blow up on any of the 3s or 4s. Left a few opportunities out there, but also made a few shots and critical saves that offset them.

His first professional round ever is a Muirfield and he posted a 71, will likely be inside the top 25 at the end of the day, and is well positioned to make the cut and cash a check with a clean round tomorrow. Can't complain about that at all. Gig'em Sam.

Finishes day -1. In a good position for his first start! Hopefully he can keep it going tomorrow.

Yep. Make the cut and you're guaranteed $43,000 even for dead-ass last. A top 25 finish would net you $177,000+

Do PGA tour events earn KFT points? If he keeps making cuts, he can maybe sneak his way into a tour card this year. A top ten or two and he easily can.

Article on Taylor Ford from a few years back. He lives on Muirfield and caddied for Stewart Cink before Cink replaced Ford with his son.

According to LinkedIn, Taylor will be Sam's caddie.

No KFT points for PGA events. He will have a chance to get the PGA tour card with his sponsor exemptions. His KFT card for next year is assured so missing out on KFT points for the rest of this season isn't a concern.

I didn't get to watch, but Sam shot -1 in round 1, good enough for T25. Projected cut after day 1 if +2, so another solid round should get him to the week.

Back to back birdies on 10 and 11 gets him back to even on the day. -1 on the tournament. I believe the cut is currently sitting at +3.

No TV coverage for Sam so far on the main broadcast, but if you have ESPN+ 15 and 16 are featured holes so you can watch him there. Just hit a long iron approach in to the par 5 15th and gave it a nice club twirl before it landed dead on line short of the pin but rolled in to the rough just behind the green. Great chance for an up and down birdie at 15.

The birdie on 10 came from the fairway bunker where he hit it to 3ft from 156yds out.

He put it in the water on 16. 11 foot putt to save a bogey.

E par at end of two rounds. All things considered with how national championships went, heck of a debut. He can fire at pins this weekend knowing he is getting a check regardless!

To make cuts in pga tour events is a big deal. Congrats to Sam. Keep it up.
