After driver change, Sahith Theegala earns PGA Tour card, Sanderson Farms lead

PGA Tour rookie Sahith Theegala has been on a roll the past few weeks, which has cumulated in a Day 1 lead at the Sanderson Farms Championship. But a change came at one point on the road to success.

The 2020 Haskins Award winner from Pepperdine was fighting for his Tour card a few weeks ago at the Korn Ferry Tour Finals and things didn't look great when Theegala missed the cut at the Albertsons Boise Open, the first KFT Finals event.

Theegala knew he needed to make a change with only two events left to get on Tour, so he went to Ping and made a driver change.
