Awesome story developing at the @KornFerryTour event in NC.
Mark Lawerence Jr played in the Monday Q last week in TN. Birdied three of the last four holes to get into a 8 for 3 playoff.
Got thru that. Made the cut, his first KFT cut. Then shot 66-67 on the weekend to finish T17 and get a spot in this weeks event.
He has battled injuries since his graduation from VT in 2021. Has had multiple surgeries to correct it and finally feeling healthy. Was unable to swing for months at a time. Worked odd jobs to make ends meet.
He opened with a 65 this week and was playing ok in the second round when it was suspended for weather last night. He had a few holes to play.
On his 18th he drove the green on the 306 yard par-4 and made the putt for eagle.
He’s now T3 heading into the 3rd round.
That’s what Mondays are all about.
College football programs don’t stay good forever. But they typically don’t fall off a cliff either.
Just ask Virginia Tech
