AKRON, Ohio – The whirlwind continues for a beleaguered Troy Merritt, who is set to make his first appearance in the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational after earning his maiden win last week at the Quicken Loans National.
While Merritt hasn’t gotten much sleep since his three-shot victory over Rickie Fowler at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club, he hopes to build upon the momentum of his breakthrough win this week at Firestone Country Club.
“I’ve been on the road so long now this summertime that everything has melded together,” said Merritt, who also earned a spot into the PGA Championship with his victory.
