Senior Patrick Adler tees up on the par-3 177-yard 11th hole in the third round at the Windon Memorial Classic, holding the individual lead and admittedly nervous for his final 18 holes of the weekend at Conway Farms.
“I had no idea where I was individually, and I had no idea where the team was,” Adler said.
But Adler wasn’t alone.
“Right after my range session, Coach [Steve Bailey] came up to me, asked me if I wanted Jordan to walk with me, and I immediately said yes,” Adler said.
Jordan Niebrugge — who was hired by the team in June to be the new assistant coach, walked all 18 holes alongside Adler — loosening the nerves for the eventual individual champion of the tournament.
