Anyone know anything about the Davis Riley injury? he didn't play the 2nd or 3rd round either.

I don't know the injury, but I'm guessing shoulder. We really struggled without him, so hope he comes back soon.

Probably one of our worst performances at the Puerto Rico Classic. Before this abomination, we had won 3 straight there. Really wish Robby Shelton could have came back.

Thomas started out well with a birdie. He had about 198 yards to the hole and had a beautiful shot from the rough to get a good approach.

Since then though, he hasn't been putting well and got a shot penalty for hitting it in the water.

Come on JT

Thomas finished hole 18 with a birdie, but bogies on the first hole on the front 9. He is not accurate right now driving.

Cauley eagled on the 3rd hole

Well, JT finished just 1 over par, despite having 5 bogies. He's tied for 23rd in putts per GIR. His approach to the green has got to get better. That back 9 is a killer though.

Bud Cauley finished 2 over. Like Thomas, Cauley is having some troubles with his approach to the green. His strokes gained around the green is pretty meh too.

Thompson is two over as well.

Robby Shelton is in 2nd place in the Swingthought event with 66, 67. LINK

Lovelady is off for a while because the Web.com's next event is late March..

Hunter Hamrick finished 12th last week in the PGA tour Latinoamerica event. He is fully exempt on this tour for winning the Q school event. They are off this week as well.

Man, Coach Sewell really has done a great job.

I'm in on this thread Busey!

Heard he should be good to go, just a precautionary thing.

That's good to know. He's a top 10 golfer and will likely help carry the team. Guy shot a 63 at Oakland Hills, so we desperately need him out there.

He really has, and is such a great guy. Pate will always has his name in Alabama golf history, but Seawall has done everything you can to build this program up and make them a title contender every year. The talent that comes through is amazing.

Back to the Honda Classic, Mullinax is even at par through 14 holes. Jason Bohn is even at par. He shot 4 birdies today, but got killed with a double bogie on the 17th. Nice story for him to return 1 year after a heart attack. Thomas finishes 1 over after a bad start.

Thomas is 1 over. Has a good chance at a birdie if he can sink in this putt at 18.

Ugh, Thomas just barely missed it. That double bogie came back to haunt him.

Mullinax, Thomas, Thompson, and Bohn will miss the cut.

Rickie Fowler (-8), Ryan Palmer (-9), and Wesley Bryan (-8) sit at the top 3.

Cauley even at par right now through 3 holes.

Didn't think anyone would have to get into double figures to win this, but with the way Fowler's been playing (back to back rounds shooting 66), thinking he'll get out in front and create a bit of a gap.
