As the third round of the 2015 Greenbrier Classic begins, the lead is currently held by two players; Jhonatten Vegas and Scott Langley. Both stand at 9-under with a one shot lead over numerous players (including Canadian David Hearn). The cut has also been set at 2-under.
Scott Langley shocked some of us with an opening round of 62 and followed it up with a 69 yesterday. His story is one to note and one of inspiration. He was part of the First Tee (a program which helps promote life and ethical values through golf) and is the first person to be part of this program and make it to the PGA Tour. He turned pro in 2011 and earned his PGA Tour card in 2013 via Q school. He also had a stellar amateur career.
Vegas' story is a bit different. He burst onto the Tour scene after winning the Bob Hope Classic (now Humana Challenge) in 2011 after just his 2nd start as a PGA Tour member. After a relatively successful 2011 where he achieved 69th place on the World Golf Rankings, he's struggled in recent years, partially due to shoulder surgery. He shot a 66/ 65 so far, including hitting all greens in his 2nd round?
Tiger Woods is also making news, the good kind this time. The iconic golfer sits at T27 after rounds of 66 and 69. This is far better than the last few times he's competed. Who knows how he'll finish off the tournament.
Finally here's how our picks are doing:
1) Webb Simpson: CUT
2) Graham DeLaet: T10 at 7-under
3) Kevin Na: T27 at 5-under
Canadian Graham DeLaet's round is currently in progress and as of now, he's birdied 5 of 6 holes. It is Moving Day and he's definitely on the move. Hopefully Na can pull off a similar feat.
Stay tuned for our Results post tomorrow evening,
