The Players Championship
11/5/08 4:01 AM
Opening round of level par 72 for Padraig at the Players Championship. After getting off to the perfect start with two birdies in his first two holes he made two bogies on his forth and seventh holes but still got it out in one under par. A birdie three on the last hole salvaged an otherwise disappointing day. Second round of 78 sees Padraig miss the cut at Sawgrass. Two under par after six holes he then had nine bogies in his next eleven holes as strong gusts of wind made club selection very difficult. He now heads back to Ireland to defend his Irish Open title at Adare Manor. Padraig is back on the USPGA Tour for this weeks Players Championship which is held at the famous or infamous TPC Sawgrass at Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. The island par three 17th green has caused havoc over the years but with a nine million dollar purse and 1.6 million to the winner, it is probably the biggest tournament of the year outside of the four majors. The course has undergone extensive changes but has been kind to Padraig in the past with a second place finish to Adam Scott. Padraig tees off in round one at 8.33am local time with Trevor Immelman and Woody Austin. Click "more" for a look at the card of the course, Padraigs scorecard and his Tour Diary for the week!
