won the Biltmore Championship Asheville<\/a> last month, is looking for his third and could do so in back-to-back starts. Bauchou, a 30-year-old rookie, has yet to win on Tour, but this is just his 31st start.<\/p>\n\u201cI just feel like my game has been pretty solid all year,\u201d Bauchou said. \u201cThe weeks I\u2019ve driven it well, I haven\u2019t hit my irons that well, and the weeks that I\u2019ve hit my irons that well, I haven\u2019t driven it that well. But this week I\u2019ve driven the ball pretty well, which is important out here because the fairways are pretty narrow, and then I\u2019ve hit a lot of short iron shots. So it\u2019s matched up pretty nice, which is kind of what you have to do to have a chance to win. Definitely excited for that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Although the handful of chasers have more established resumes.<\/p>\n
Thomas has always played well overseas. He\u2019s been runner-up in this event twice and four of his 16 PGA Tour victories have come in Malaysia or South Korea.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wish I knew [why I played well here] because I would love to channel it year-round,\u201d Thomas said. \u201cI\u2019m not sure. I have a great track record. I\u2019m going to try to use that to my advantage. I really enjoy coming to these events. I think it\u2019s just something to be said and kind of cool and special when you can play in front of people that we\u2019re never really going to get the chance to be in front of and see and play. I think the golf courses are obviously very, very cool and unique. It feels like a lot more of an experience than just another golf tournament. There could be something to be said for that. I\u2019d like to figure it out because it would be nice to do more often.\u201d<\/p>\n
And then there\u2019s Scott, the Masters champion who has won 14 times on the PGA Tour but hasn\u2019t since the 2020 Genesis Invitational.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been like six years since I\u2019ve won on the PGA Tour; I\u2019m frustrated by that,\u201d Scott said. \u201cI feel like there\u2019s been some good golf in there and I haven\u2019t made the most of it, but it also shows how hard it is to win on the PGA Tour now. So this is a great chance for me tomorrow to go out and have a fantastic round and hopefully it\u2019s better than everyone else.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s the kind of golf only the most die-hard \u2014\u00a0or sleep-deprived \u2014 Americans might watch: those handful of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":798964,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[5904,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-798963","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-golf","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/798963","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=798963"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/798963\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/798964"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=798963"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=798963"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=798963"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
