After a close final round, KBS took first and second place at the Rocket Mortgage Classic. The winners were using KBS Tour-V 120HT shafts on Titleist irons and wedges. The Australian golfer started the tournament with a score of 68 and improved on that with a round of 66 on Friday. On Saturday, he shot another 66 to give himself a chance heading into the final round. The KBS golfer admitted that he has been battling mental challenges for the past six months due to his poor golf performance. The final round will be the ultimate test to see if he can survive the tough competition. On Sunday, he started his round with a bogey but quickly bounced back with three birdies to finish the first nine holes. In the second nine holes, he made a big bogey on the par-5 14th hole, but then birdied the 18th hole to secure his spot at the top of the leaderboard for now. All he could do was wait in the clubhouse for his opponent to finish. Coming into the 18th hole, the left-hander had never missed a putt within six feet of the hole during the tournament, but then something unbelievable happened. He let his nerves get the better of him and missed the par putt to the right, missing a playoff and a chance to win. “When he missed that putt, I felt a combination of shock and bad luck for him, but at the same time, I realized that a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders to try and win again,” said the Australian winner in the clubhouse. This is the second time a KBS player has won the Rocket Mortgage Classic. Heartfelt congratulations to the winner and all the players competing in the Rocket Mortgage Classic. | Player-Driven.
