PGA Tour: Cognizant Classic in the Palm Beaches...Tee Times Leaderboard
Part of the narrative after the opening round of PGA National in the Palm Beaches was how easy the course they once called the Blue Monster was playing.
The owners have overseeded with rye grass, and trimmed the rough as a result according to veteran Billy Horschel, the course looks greener on TV, in fact its playing softer and without the wind it is very gettable for us pros.
Pretty looking courses on TV, means more people will come to play for the resort owners. (Henderson Park an international private equity realty firm based in London, England)
You can see from the leaderboard there are quite a few names that are unknown to the average fan in the top 10, with most of the marquee players off this week with 2 signature events on the schedule next.
Sudarshan Yellamaraju is a proud Canadian success story in his rookie season, and he leads the contingent T9 68 -3. There are many watching saying "who?"
Adam Hadwin T52 71 E
AJ Ewart T52 71 E
Adam Svensson T68 72 +1
Ben Silverman T82 73 +2
Mac Hughes T108 75 +4
The leader Austin Smotherman -9 62, a shot clear of Spaniard Nico Echavarria -8 63.
Others who you may not know in the top 10, Jackson Suber T3 -4 67, Pontus Nyholm T3 -4 67, Hank Lebioda T9 -3 68, William Moua T9 -3 68.
However T20 -2 69 are Billy Horschel, Kevin Streelman, Rasmus Hojgaard, we all know along with Shane Lowry T35 -1 70.
As I mentioned you may not know a lot of these guys who haven't played for 3 weeks, however this week and next in Puerto Rico is a chance for the rank and file to make an improvement in their PGA Tour standings.
