With two rounds in the books former University of Kansas golfer Gary Woodland seemed in a great position at The Open Golf championship- the tour’s third major of the year.
In spite of the awful Friday weather at Royal Birkdale, I was thrilled Woodland finished with a score under par. He saw plenty of television time early Saturday due to the paring with Rory Mcilrory. The two began round three just back of leader Jordan Spieth.
As we anticipated before the tournament, Woodland’s long game is perfect for the Royal Birkdale course. We saw him play the golf that has already earned him over $2M on the PGA tour this year.
