Golfers Crowd Leaderboard in Florida

SSM boys crowd the top of the leader board after the first day of the Plantations Tour TPC Sawgrass tournament in Jacksonville, Florida.  Golfers played the Dye’s Valley course which has played host to the Nationwide’s Tour Winn Dixie Jacksonville Open. Nathan Zhao is sitting at top tied for 1st place in the boys 14-19 age group with a first round score of 77.  Nathan had one  birdie on the day but had numerous chances that just didn’t fall.  Phillip Baumberger sits in sole 3rd place with a score of 78 in which he had birdies on his first and second holes of the round.  Jake Curwin rounds out the SSM golfers tied for 4th place with a score of 79 which was highlighted with 5 birdies.  Sydney Brickey is sitting in 5th place on the girls side with a round of 90.  Coach Higdon is happy with the way the kids played to today.  “With our three boys sitting in spots 1st through 4th, I am pretty happy with the things heading into the final round.  Each one of the boys left a few shots on the course as typical with every round of golf, but overall they played pretty solid.  They have all put themselves in position to win the tournament, let’s see if one of them can go out and take the crown.  It will be fun to watch them all battle tomorrow on the Stadium Course which is host to the PGA Tour’s Player Championship.  I hope it is close coming down to the famous #17 island green par 3 and the tough #18.  It will make for a great finish.”  Brickey tees off at 10:50 EST. tomorrow.  Curwin tees off at 12:02 while Baumberger and Zhao are playing in the final group of the day at 12:10.
