ORLANDO, Fla. – It hasn’t been a smooth transition to the PGA Tour for Jamie Lovemark, but he appears to have finally found his footing.
In the midst of a successful season, Lovemark has opened the Arnold Palmer Invitational with consecutive rounds of 68. At 8 under, the 28-year-old is near the top of the leaderboard at the halfway point, five shots behind leader Jason Day.
Long billed as one of the best athletes in golf, Lovemark burst onto the scene at the 2010 Frys.com Open, where he played on a sponsor exemption before losing in a playoff that also included Rickie Fowler.
