Terms are turning on Florida. IN Valsspar championship Thursday, we saw Patton kizzire His work after losing a 6-party for par. It was strange, but also a funny kind because, well, how often did you see a player hitting a golf club?
(We do not condemn the hit or dumping of clubs in the Golf Course, but the current height and Kizzire distance took from the blow was impressive.)
Kizzire withdrew several holes later.
This brings us Friday to Valspar, where Sahith Theegala arrived at par-3 4 coming out of a noise in the previous hole (and preparing for a hole that he bogeyed on Thursday).
Theegala was shaking and the ball had not even reached its peak before Theegala left his club in disgust. He hardly finished his continued. But he did not. He took his iron and Tomahawk pulled him out of his box. The gallery was gassed and its ball barely cleaned the Greenside bunker, coming to rest in the harsh.
“It was two shakes he made without the club in his hand, in the same hole,” joking one of the broadcasters at ESPN+ presented the group. “In nine money, he had so many shakes with just one arm at the club. I’m sorry to laugh at someone else’s pain, but it’s one of the strangest things because we can all associate with the pain he is going through now and the frustration he is feeling.”
Theegala still stood up to see and signed for a 72 over a day. Overall, he will make it certainly on the weekend at the Innisbrook Resort. And this is not an easy task.
While explosions from Kizzire and Theegala may be connected to their games, Copper It has been a difficult test through 36 holes, with gusta of wind and cold temperatures giving players fit.
Five players ended the first round of the lead in four under, which was the highest result in the first round after a round in Valsspar since 2016. Protective champion Peter Malnati did not even hit a straight path in the first round (the first player to do so in this tournament). He shot 73.
“Much more complicated than what they can watch on TV or people at home watching,” said Shane Lowry, who is four under. “I think you can’t necessarily feel the wind here too, so you have to simply, there is a lot of confidence involved. He was bold as well. And it was cold. So there are many factors you have to get with a lot of shots.”
The cut line is likely to be finished.
“When it comes to temperature, I feel like you can err the wind or maybe some rain here and there, but if it says it will be 50, it’s not like it will be 70 years old,” said Justin Thomas, who is one. “It was cold as hell, so it was difficult. But if you still hit good shots, the greens were soft enough to make a lot of birds. I just didn’t do it.”
