Mynavi ABC Championship 2018
Where's BJ?!
"Where is BJ?" Well, BJ is sitting 2nd on the leaderboard with scoring 67 two days in a row. He had trouble hole yesterday on the 15th, where he triple-bogeyed with two OB. But today's round was perfect and scored 5 under Par. One tough moment was at Par 3 12th, where his tee shot went way back of the green and caught in the gutter. He got a drop without penalty, chipped to 1.5-meters and saved Par.
With a bogey-free round BJ recalled "I had no mistakes today, I did a great job!"
Brendan went through surgery on his left wrist 2 years in a row in year 2013 and 2014. His recovery is going swell. He has changed his putter from long to regular shaft, and it's working quite well. He has also won before on this venue so, he knows his ways around these fast greens.
Brendan has been away from the winner's circle for 2 years. His victory No.15 may come 16 years after his first one on the Japan Tour.
"Shouldn't get the hopes up too fast! Golf is like a long-distance run. Goal is still far away."
Yes, it's just a halfway turn. Brendan is calm and focused.
His only concern is what to eat on the night before the moving Saturday.
"In Japanese food I like Sushi, but I like Indian food as well, so is Korean. Yesterday I went to Italian."
What would his "power-dinner" be tonight?
