Tough finish for BG today at the Honda. Even par going into the Bear Trap (15-17), he emerged four over, and that's the way he closed the day (74 / +4).
Starting on #10, he bogies #11, #13, and #14. He's now +7 for the tournament. What to do . . .
Quit?
No way!
He stick-handles through the Bear Trap (#15-#17) in even par.
Then, turning for home, he birdies #1, #3, #5, and #7. A bogie at #18 mars the front-nine card, but it remains a brilliant, under-the-gun, closing nine.
We can talk 'stats' all we want. But, the final determinant is heart.

No stat for that.
But there should be.
Sheer determination! Impressive.
