Tom Pernice Jr. Leads AT & T National by One Shot

Tom Pernice Jr. shot 1 under par 69 and came out atop the leaderboard after three rounds of the AT&T National Tournament. In a round totally unremarkable, much like his career, Mr Pernice had 15 pars and managed to make only two putts of significance. A 41/2 footer for par and a 7 footer for birdie. But hey, at 48 he’s in position to win for the first time in seven years. â€œIt will be interesting to see how it goes tomorrow,â€ Pernice said. â€œBut Iâ€™m looking forward to it.â€ He’ll need to play better than this to win tomorrow as there are 10 players are within four shots of his 10 under par score.

Tom Pernice Jr. shot 1 under par 69 and came out atop the leaderboard after three rounds of the AT&T National Tournament. In a round totally unremarkable, much like his career, Mr Pernice had 15 pars and managed to make only two putts of significance. A 41/2 footer for par and a 7 footer for birdie. But hey, at 48 he’s in position to win for the first time in seven years. “It will be interesting to see how it goes tomorrow,” Pernice said. “But I’m looking forward to it.” He’ll need to play better than this to win tomorrow as there are 10 players are within four shots of his 10 under par score.

Closest of those is Steve Stricker, who finished second here last year. “The course is playing a touch easier than last year, and I think that’s reflect in the scores,” Stricker said. “There’s a lot more guys with the opportunity to win. You’re going to have to shoot a good round.” Mr. Stricker has done that the last two days, following Friday’s 64 with a 66 today. Even though he wonders where his driver is going sometimes, his only bogeys were made from the middle of the fairway.

Jeff Overton, who was tied with Mr. Pernice for first at the beginning of the day, shot a 71 after back to back double bogeys on 14 and 15. He followed that disaster with consecutive birdies and finished two shots back, tied with Tommy Armour III, and Nick O’Hern. For Mr. Armour, this is the second week he’s been in the chase on the final day. Not bad for an old guy who is not willing to go quietly onto the Champions Tour. No old guy buffet for this old guy. All I can say is go Tommy go.

Anthony Kim knows how to make golf entertainment. Take the middle six holes and don’t make a par. He holed a 35-foot birdie putt at No. 6, the toughest hole at Congressional, only to see his tee shot spin back off the green on the seventh for a bogey. He followed with consecutive birdies and was poised to move into the lead until taking a bogey from the bunker on No. 10, then having to get up-and-down for bogey from the thick collar of rough at No. 11 after driving into the hazard. He too shot a 69 and is tied with Tim Herron (65) and Cliff Kresge (69) three shots behind.

Again, tomorrow the final round will go off early in threesomes on Sunday morning due to forecast thunderstorms rolling into the area in the afternoon. Tape delay or no tape delay we could see some great fireworks at Tiger’s tournament tomorrow. I like Mr. Stricker to win based solely on his ability with the putter. If he can keep the ball reasonably close to in play I like his chances of closing the deal. That and he’s from Wisconsin.

GolfWRX Staff

A reminder from your friends at GolfWRX: Father’s Day is June 21. And as we do every year, we’re rounding up the best gifts for dad.

As we say every year, there’s no better golf-related Father’s Day gift than a round of golf with pops. Be it a country club or your favorite muni, take the time to get together to play 18 if you can.

Let’s get to the gifts.

Ghost Golf Qualifier Diamond Polo

We like the new polos that Ghost is offering, as the fabric and fit are so good. These new Qualifier Collection polos breathe well, are lightweight, stretch with your swing, and of course look great. You can wear them on the course, in the office, or just out at a casual event and they will fit right in.

STR8-Strip Grip Tape Remover

If your dad is an equipment aficionado and tinkers with his clubs, this tool works wonders. Removing grip tape has never been easier, just put a little head on the tape and the STR8-Strip peals it right off the shaft without any damage.

Why Golf: Putting Thing

When it comes to practice, it is good to have a purpose. This “Putting Thing” sure does it. We know from personal experience how challenging it can be and how rewarding it is on the practice green. This also provides some competition for your kiddo to see who will unload the dishwasher or do the next chore around the house.

OluKai Lae‘ahi Men’s Breathable Slip-On Shoes

Riding to and from the course in style and comfort is always a good thing. If you’re in a hurry, it’s a nice feature to slide into your shoes and get to the tee time. For the post-game shoe, at your locker or while putting your clubs away in the car. Nice to slide into a shoe that looks good anywhere. Pair that with meeting the family for dinner, no need to change!

Therabody Theragun Relief

A little wellness goes a long way. Keeping loose is a good way to go when it comes to the weekend game or treatment during the week. If there is a little ache or pain, the Theragun is there to help out. Help loosen up the back for a pre-game warm-up or cool-down.

With the PGA Tour across the border in Canada this week, GolfWRX Tour Photographer Greg Moore stayed stateside and headed to the OccuNet Classic presented by Amarillo National Bank in Amarillo, Texas.

It’s always interesting to see what the guys are playing on the KFT, and this week certainly hasn’t disappointed so far, with some incredible wedge stamping on display.

At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals who all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.

It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.

Currently, in our GolfWRX buy/sell/trade (BST) forum, @HuskerFlyer is sharing a Scotty Cameron GOLO with a BGT Stability Tour2 2022 M Edition shaft. While the putter is certainly enviable, the Augusta-inspired shaft is equally noteworthy.
