“We thought we were pretty good players, we had been playing for two years, and we just got blown away,” Zink told Bryan Frees on Thursday in Johnson City, Tennessee. “There were people from all over the country for this overall event.
We had a situation that you may be aware on hole 13 at Sugar Hollow today. Due to circumstances beyond our control, there was a water pipe that burst, and the parks department had to do an emergency fix. This resulted in a work crew with a tractor and chainsaw very close to the green.
Unfortunately, this affected the last 4-5 groups to play that hole. In the best interest of fairness to those groups we are removing hole 13 from scores for MP50's Tuesday round.
We apologize for this inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.
“That built a lot of momentum for me with three birdies to start,” said Ohn Scoggins. “My confidence was very high and that helped me with my putting.”
It wasn’t just an appreciation of them for making the trek to Johnson City, Tennessee to compete for a world title, but for their contributions as some of the trailblazers of the sport.
