Putting For Dough: Na Makes 379 Feet Of Putts In Rounds Of 62-61
/Kevin Na holds the lead heading into Sunday’s Shriner’s Hospital For Children Open on the back of an astounding putting performance.
It’s not often you see a player back up a 62 with a 61. From Steve DiMeglio’s Golfweek report:
A day after making 202 feet of putts en route to firing a 9-under-par 62, the Las Vegas resident made 177 feet of putts Saturday on his way to a 61 and the outright lead through 54 holes of the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open at TPC Summerlin.
Two other notes from the PGA Tour Communications staff:
Made 445’ 7’’ of putts through 54 holes; Ben Martin holds the record (in the ShotLink era) for most feet of putts made at a PGA TOUR event through 72 holes with 551’ 2” at the 2015 Charles Schwab Challenge
Leads the field in Strokes Gained: Putting through 54 holes (11.905)
