NORTON, Mass. – Vying for his first PGA Tour victory, Kevin Chappell was dealt the kind of set back that could derail many players. It could have derailed Chappell just a few years ago, but at 30 years old he’s learned to deal with adversity.
Standing on the 12th tee with a one-stroke lead at the Deutsche Bank Championship, Chappell’s drive sailed 310 yards and into the middle of the fairway – and a divot.
From that difficult lie, Chappell’s approach found a greenside hazard and his next shot bounced off a rock and flew over the green.
