PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – After Saturday’s putting adventures, officials appeared more interested in erring on the side of caution for Sunday’s final round.

The PGA Tour sent out two revisions to Sunday’s hole locations, adjusting the hole on the par-4 fourth hole and the par-4 14th.

“On 14, we had the flag middle right, and it was kind of high, and it was going to be downwind,” said Mark Russell, the Tour’s vice president of rules and competition. “We thought it would be better if we moved it to the left, where it was down just a little bit because we’re supposed to have some pretty good winds this afternoon.
