ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. – It’s not as though Lee Hodges hasn’t been in pressure situations before Saturday, and considering the relaxed atmosphere of the event he probably wasn’t expecting to feel any nerves.
But then he birdied the par-5 15th hole on Sea Island Resort’s Seaside Course to move into a share of the individual lead at the “Back 2 Golf” Challenge, a 36-hole, two-man team event featuring PGA Tour players paired with their counterparts from the Korn Ferry Tour.
He was tied with Jim Furyk and Harris English – a major champion and a Tour winner, respectively.
