PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – For those looking for an early favorite on Saturday at TPC Sawgrass, GTC suggests they keep a close eye on Jonathan Byrd.
Following Byrd’s second-round 70 to move to within two strokes of the lead the St. Simons Island, Ga., resident drove home to attend his son Jackson’s tee-ball game that began at 6:30 p.m.
Jackson’s team won the game and the father/son combo celebrated the victory with a snow cone at St. Simons’ Mallery Park. GTC calls that good karma.
