NORTON, Mass. – Smylie Kaufman was born in Alabama, but on Saturday after finishing a second-round 66 at the Deutsche Bank Championship to move into contention he was asked his prediction for the LSU vs. Wisconsin game.
“I think 27 to 10, good guys,” he smiled.
The “good guys” for Kaufman is LSU, where he played his college golf. It’s also been a place that’s been on the PGA Tour rookie’s mind the last few weeks following last month’s historic flooding in Louisiana.
Kaufman wanted to help in the recovery from the flooding, so he had players sign one of his staff golf bags last week at The Barclays and planned to auction it off before an unidentified donor gave him another idea.
