Oakmont, without. – Only after 8 afternoon on Saturday, only two players were left in the range Oakmont country club. On the left side of the bay of the shock, near the short game practice area, was Victor Hovlandwho, after a 70 -equal 70, had within three of the superiority of Sam Burns’s 54 holes, was willing to call on his driver by swinging with his coach, Grant Waite.
The other resident of the range, about a dozen bay from Hovland, was 33-year-old Adam Schenk, who is playing in his fourth US Open this week.
SCENK, who had charged a 76-round round, was not hitting the ball-ai was toss Them: a high bow lobe, bow at a time towards a flag placed in a green about 75 yards away. When the Schenk’s turn, his caddy, Brett Swedberg, entered and threw some of his balls on the target. And so it went, with some of the best efforts to attract oohs and aahs from a dozen fans in the Grandstand.
What was happening here?
Just a creative money game (you think golf meets with the corn hole), to blow up some steam after grinding 54 holes in The tougher course of golf You may sometimes want to play.
Scenk said he and Swedberg usually play the ball game once a week on the tournament, or once a week, and will sometimes take other players and cadders to join. An ace – ie, a throw that finds the bottom of the hole – is worth $ 100; The flag hit is good for $ 50; And hitting a ball in green with a lawn-style-style scroll wins you $ 20. “Start with five balls and if you get three out of five, you get a bonus of $ 20,” Schenk told me in range. “You can create the rules as you go.”
Each verse has its own character. SCENK said the lowest range in the practice facility at the TPC River Highlands champion offers a special challenge when rolling balls on the target. “The ball is always changing the direction with the Divot,” he said. “Amazing is amazing how many balls can be there, and you are rolling them and missing it all.”
Scenk has collected his looper in a single game?
About $ 400 or $ 500, he said. And the result of his Saturday evening confrontation at US Open? Scenk pushed his kadi to the final accounting.
“Square,” Swedberg said.
As far as this article is concerned, Scenk was five over 16 holes in his fourth round, and 15 during the week, connected for 52.
