Yep. But it's a true three shot oar 5. At least that has been his strategy all weekend.

Yep. I'll be interested to see if his strategy changes to go for 2. But guess don't want to risk not getting 3rd.
Yep 595 yards with a lake in front. Really hard to stop the ball on the green I think. But might not be too bad going long.
Smoked his drive 350
Yep. 213 to the pin. Depends on his lie in the first cut or the rough
Went for it. Came up short in bunker and now has 19ft left...
T3. Good tourney for him. Will move up the standings some more
FWIW 862 got a card last year. He is in great spot with 7 events left.
Again, even on the par 5s.GigEmJake17 said:
Last hole. Par 5. Birdie gets him a T2. Eagle a solo 2. Would be great time to buck his poor par 5 performance this tourney.
If he birdied just half of them over both days, would've tied for the lead.
Needs some lessons from Bryson.
Pretty wild he didn't birdie a single par 5 yesterday or today.
Looks like one more top 3, or a couple of more 10ish finishes, or three more finishes around 20 will be enough. Or obviously several other combinations, but that should give you an idea of what he needs.
Crazy a top 3 only moves you up a few spots.
Been watching him a lot. His drives are top tier PGA quality. Maybe not the longest, but he hits fairways. I really think it's his short irons that are letting him down. But, back to back 3rd place finishes are putting him closer to getting his tour card.
nailed it. + Putting is feast or famine. But his longer irons and driving is elite. He has actually picked up some distance from a couple years ago.FriscoKid said:

The issue is that there were 4 guys tied for 3rd. That really kills the points awarded for a top 3
Really feeling it recently these last few tourneys. -3 thru 5.
and still can't buy a birdie on a par 5.... just missed a 3 footer... it is a meme at this point. 1-11 over his last 4 rounds.

From what I could tell on the play by play, he was on in 2 on that par 5 & 3 putted. That has to be frustrating.

Sam is once again on in 2 on a par 5. He FINALLY gets his birdie on a par 5 and moves to T4th!
finishes -6, T7. Good first day
tomorrow they will show KF from 3:00-5:00 on Golf channel. Sam playing in the afternoon so he might get some coverage.
I will be interested to see if he is in the featured groups. Was just watching coverage right now and they're locked into two specific groups, minus one or two highlights outside of that.
As long as he puts up another good round, should be covered through weekend.

Sam is nine strokes off the lead before he even tees off today. These KF courses are just way too easy. Goes to sleep T7 and starts the day T40.
Bogey bogey start...
Bogey bogey to start. Need to get that fixed pretty quick.
This can't be right though.
they changed it to par lolFriscoKid said:

they way the KFT tracks them is like those Across sensors but clipped to them and a volunteer lasers putts. It detects when they swing and marks that location. He must have done something like a swing down there. It leads to some funny outcomes when it goes wrong.FriscoKid said:

according to shot cast he just four putted from 35 ft.
Wow
I'm hoping that's another typo but man... A 4 putt??
I wouldn't trust the live shot by shot from the KFT
That's hard to believe.
after his drive he was 97 out in the middle of the fairway. Hard to believe how bad an approach he would have to hit to double bogie.
