Graeme was back firing this week coming home in T14 place at The Club at Chatham Hills, USA. On Friday, G-Mac bounced back strongly, recovering from a bogey on the 17th (his 4th) with a streak of three birdies on 7, 8 and 9 (his 12th, 13th, 14th), then adding another on the 13th (his 17th) to close the day at -3.
He stepped it up further on Saturday, firing a five-under round that featured seven birdies against just two dropped shots. On Sunday, Graeme carried the momentum, racing to five under through his first ten holes. A bogey on the 16th (his 13th) was quickly offset with a birdie at the 3rd (his 17th), securing back-to-back rounds of five under par.
This solid T14 finish was a timely boost after a couple of quieter weeks, while Team Smash GC ended the event in 10th place overall with a score of -4 -7 -16, Total -27
THE COURSE
Whisper the name ‘Pete Dye’ and you’re likely to strike fear into the hearts of golfers everywhere. After all, this is the guy who created Whistling Straits and Sawgrass. The guy who redefined the terrifying par 3.
Chatham Hills, north of Indianapolis, is Dye’s last great course. The one he considered his masterpiece. Each subtle slope has been sculpted into a sneaky trap, and there are watery jaws all over the property, just waiting to devour a wayward drive.
It’s a fitting place to crown the new LIV Golf Individual Champion. and we’re likely to see some superb golf as the players battle for those all-important final spots, which will determine who stays in the league, who goes, and who gets a new contract with their team.
Now, let’s take a closer look at the host venue, and the architect who made it all possible.
Course Stats: 7143 Yards, Par 71.
