In 2023 I wrote about an unknown college sophomore from a tiny town in Minnesota who, out of the blue Monday Q'd for the John Deere in his first ever attempt at a Monday.
His name was Anders Larson.
Pine Island is a tiny town and Larson grew up playing a local muni. And how he found a coach to help with his swing, but that coach was 2 hours away. So two times a week his family would drive him there.
He still has the same coach. Last week Anders called me, said he was turning pro, was wondering about how to find sponsors, we talked for a good bit.
On Sunday he turned pro.
Today in his first attempt at a KFT Monday as a pro, he shot 63 and earned a spot in the field.
Pretty awesome.
After the first 18, Anders Larson ended the first day of the Babygrande Donald Ross Collegiate tied for third at four-under!
Colonels are tied for seventh as a team at two-over.

FINISHING STRONG!
Anders Larson ends the Palmas del Mar Collegiate with a final round 64 (-8), tying the second-lowest single-round score in program history!
He is just the 5th Colonel to ever shoot 64 in a round!

I don’t care if it’s a Hail Mary in the CFP Semifinal, this should be called pass interference every time.
Miami got away with a clear penalty vs Ole Miss to win the Fiesta Bowl.
ESPN’s “officiating expert” calling this “mutual contact” is laughable…
