Smotherman -8 (6)
Austin Smotherman is another man to knock in three straight birdies as he joins the cavalry charge moving up the leaderboard.
Smotherman’s wife is expecting their third child right about now, but he has no plans to leave Sawgrass even if the new arrival comes during the tournament.
“My wife’s giving me the okay to play this week,” said Smotherman.
“So just keep playing golf, go have a baby whenever the baby shows up. She’s not getting induced or anything, so we’re just kind of letting it roll.

“I don’t know what she’s going to do. She doesn’t know if she’s going to try and contact me, contact my caddie, and then figure out if he relays the info or if I just play. We just we don’t know. I’m just playing golf. Yeah, yeah. The plan is to stay. Wild.”
You can tell it’s their third child and not the first….
