Gordon Sargent did something he never had on Monday at the Watersound Invitational.
Vanderbilt’s senior is ranked sixth in the world amateur golf course, and after the NCAA championship in May, he will be a member of the PGA Tour thanks to the reception of his card via the Accelerated PGA University in the fall of 2023 .
Sargent was the fifth bag of Vanderbilt’s programming in the tournament at Shark’s Tooth Golf Course in Panama City Beach, Florida, an event that the commodores have won the last two years. During his career Vandy, Sargent was never bag n ° 5, which is generally saved for the last player to qualify for a place.
Where a player is in the programming does not really matter, although the best places are generally where the best players or qualifications are split. One of the five scores can count every day in a range. For the individual champion of the 2022 NCAA, it is an unknown place during what is probably the most uncomfortable period of his career.
Former amateur n ° 1, Sargent did not finish in the top 10 for the commodores as a senior. It has more cycles of 75 or more (4) than towers in the 1960s (3). His first departure this spring was T-63 at the Southwestern Invitational, where he opened with cycles of 79 and 78.
Sargent finished T-2 at Watersound last year, but after his nine holes open on Monday, he was 7 years old and beat a single golfer on the ground.
He is one of the best in the university golf for three years and he is quite talented to get out of all the crises he is going through, but to see him as the Five bag is a strange spectacle for those who follow the closely university golf course.
