Korn Ferry Finals part 2, debrief @golfVNGC

Sorry I didn’t get to a second update on Sunday - I ran out of storage on my Dropbox and couldn’t get my pictures moved over….total rookie move.

The back nine at Victoria Natty is pretty damn solid too; even bigger rookie move was my deciding to go inside for a while to cool off, write a post, grab some water, because this led me to miss Purdue-grad Tyler Duncan going into what-can-only-be-called The Zone and shooting a total of 6-under to earn his PGA card. Really solid stuff. We also got to see Indiana guy Chris Baker earn his card too, making the journey from Journeyman to PGATour player after 8 years; both of these guys deservedly got some press for the achievement and it will be cool to see how they do this season.

The back nine has more of those great carved out of rolling terrain holes, but even wilder by a few degrees. I like all the holes, but looking at 14 through 18, the closing stretch is pretty sick and looks both crazy hard and fun. Fourteen might be one of the coolest looking holes out there; the tee shot is tricky, with a big grass bowl short left of the green. Take a look at the pix below, these are #nofilter shots and came out looking awesome, just like the course. I’m dying to play out here!

In the end, a masterful Tom Lewis pretty-well torched the place, taking advantage of wet conditions and lift-clean-place to shoot 23-under.
