SMU PGA golfers 2023

[Charleston Pony]

Meissner at minus 3 and Goodwin a minus 2 are well off the 1st round pace of minus 9 in Boise

[Charleston Pony]

Meissner at minus 5 is T-75th (9 shots back) and Noah at one under T-125th in Boise, both missing the cut. I assume both will try to qualify for the Q school tournament at Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra but talk about a tough way to earn your card!

Kelly Kraft finished 25th in the Fortinet Championship this week. Harry and Austin did not make the cut.

Higgs is in 6th place after 2 days. Kraft tied at 54th. Smotherman missed the cut.

[Charleston Pony]

Kelly's minus 3 3rd round has him in the clubhouse at minus 8 and currently T-28th at the Sanderson Farms event in Jackson, MS. Harry is 3 shots off the lead and hasn't started his 3rd round yet

[Charleston Pony]

Harry's even par 3rd round leaves him at minus 11, T-15th and 9 shots back while Kelly drops into a T-34th at minus 8

[EastStang]

Kelly finished 16th. Harry was 8 over on last round and finished 64th.

[Charleston Pony]

Harry's final round meltdown included his playing the back nine par 5s 3 over (compared to playing them 4 under during his 1st 3 rounds) and he also took a triple bogey 7 on the par 4 12th on his way to a back nine 44. I hate that feeling when you suddenly find yourself playing against bogey rather than against par!

Kelly was consistent all week and earned $109,197 for his efforts.

Let's not forget that Mac Meissner earned his PGA Tour card yesterday as he finished T3 at the Korn Ferry finale, which vaulted him to 21st in the final standings (Top 30 earned cards). He's hoping Kelly continues to rise, Higgs sorts out his issues, and Smotherman continues to mature....and, Noah Goodwin has a great Korn Ferry year in 23-24. #GolfSchool

Austin Smotherman leading the pack of SMU golfers this week and sits at minus 6, T-28th, 6 shots off the lead at The Shriners in Las Vegas. Kelly Kraft is safely within the cut line at minus 3 and currently T-56th. Harry played his roller coaster 36 holes in 4 over after carding 7 birdies but offsetting them with 2 double bogeys

[Charleston Pony]

Kelly starts his "moving day" Saturday hot with birdies at holes 2, 3, 4 & 5 and now sits at 7 under for the event thru 14 holes today. Austin opened his round with a birdie on # 1 and joins Kelly at minus 7

[Charleston Pony]

Kelly started strong and finished strong with birdies at 17 & 18 and gets to 9 under, currently 4 shots back although the leaders haven't teed off yet. Austin birdied 3 of his 1st 4 holes but took a disastrous quadruple bogey 8 on number 4 so he's dropped off to minus 5 thru 7 holes today.

[Charleston Pony]

Kelly had a strong weekend playing 11 under Saturday & Sunday to finish 14 under, currently T-21st

Austin finishes 11 under and T-35th

meanwhile on the other side of real golf. Bryson's team won the LIV tourney and the team earned 14 mil. not bad for few days work.
