LA QUINTA, Calif. – Not only is this the largest Championship flight in recent years at Golf Channel Am Tour National Championship, it's delivered some of the tournament's most spectacular scores.
Jordan Massey, who we profiled earlier this week, carded a 36-hole tournament record (68-69=137). Then, in round three on the Stadium Course at PGA West, two-time National Champion Paul Erdman, from Erie, Colo., shot a tournament record single round score of 66.
After an opening round 79, which the Colorado resident chalked up to a failure to adjust to yardages at sea level, Erdman found his distances in Round 2 and arrived at Round 3, seemingly out of contention and totally relaxed.
