Final Group - Front 9

Sterling Silvers - A player who really impressed with 4 solid rounds at Pebble started out shaky here. Silvers was lucky to just bogey one after an awful drive, and number 2 wasn't much better. The tee ball was way long and a long putt saved bogey. A long putt on 3 saves par. On number 4 Silver's got the driver working, as his shot found the middle of the fairway. He reached the par 5 in two and two putted for bird. Number 8 was a bit testy. Silvers approach found the bunker - and his out was rather pathetic. However, he calmly sunk a 32 footer for par. The confidence from 8 carried over to 9 where he hit a huge driver, stuck the approach and made the short birdie putt to finish the front 9 even par after that terrible bogey bogey start. Front 9 Score: 36 (EVEN)

Shane Kormelink - Shane was the exact opposite of Silvers. A quick start on the first two hole had Shane 2 under. A great 3rd shot into the green from inside 100 yards gave Kormelink another birdie and had him 3 under early. However, a ball in the trap at 5 gave a stroke back. Kormelink rallied on 6 with a great drive and second shot, excellent chip and a short birdie putt, but a ball in the H2O on 8 ended up giving two strokes back and he finished the front a disappointing 1 under. Front 9 Score: 35 - (-1)

Bradley Nowell - Birdies number 1, but finds the bunkers on 2 and needs a 26 foot putt to save par. A 7 foot putt is missed on 4 and Nowell has to settle for par. The putter doesn't betray him on 7 though as his iron off the tee is 11 feet and the putt is drained. Another makeable putt is missed on 8 and the frontside closes 1 under. Front 9 Score: 35 - (-1)
