Lip-outs in abundance at truest as green speeds Catch Field surprise

Moltown, father. Minimal wind and soft greens on the club’s Wissahickon track provided a low round of the Truest Championship, when Keith Mitchell fired a 9 under 61 to take the early lead. The field played through Rain on Friday that made the track feel longer than its 7119 meters. On Saturday, a combination of larger winds and faster greens offered a turn for the field during the $ 20 million signature – and short missed wells were the theme of the day. “The greens were a speed today than they were yesterday. They were much faster,” says Mitchell, who is now putting three shots behind leaders Shane Lowry and Sepp. “The winds and the dry air made it much faster. So some holes were on 3 and 4 adjustments at 3 and 4. ‘ The third and fourth holes were three-Putt Bogeys for Mitchell, who had a day to forget on his way to a 1-over 71. He ended a 3-foot detection on the par-3 eighths before the ultimate collapse on another Par-3, the 14th. Mitchell landed his tea shot up to 5 feet from the pen, his bird tried to roll right past the cup and still couldn’t get it right on the three-foot. There are 70 players still in the field after two withdrawals on Saturday, and Mitchell was 70th place in wells per green in regulation (2.07). But others also struggled. Rory McIlroy had a 4 1/2-foot-Putt to take a 90-degree left turn on the lip on the way to a double bogey on no. 7. Lowry tried a 7-foot bird to try the no. 8-lip hard to try out. And Straka’s only Bogey of the day comes on the 12th hole on a lip. “It was very difficult in those winds these days, especially difficult to keep wells,” Lowry said. “When you get within 10 feet, it was difficult to be exactly on these greens.” Lowry agreed with playmate Mitchell’s assessment of the green speeds. “They were much faster today, especially by the end. I felt that we had a few wells where you hit them in the pace, which were not the case for the first few days,” Lowry said. “The first few days I felt that they were quite slow.” This is not to say that the players were about the sudden problem. The Philadelphia Cricket Club has made positive to judge reviews all week, as players express their approval of an old school northeastern cut, of which they no longer play on tour regularly. “I played with Harry English today, and (Max) Homa yesterday,” Tony Finau said. “We talked about it, within 100 to 150 miles of this place, I think there are some of the best golf in the world. I would like to see the tour stop here much more. It’s definitely a good one.” -Adam Zielonka, field level media
