Max Homa returns this week to defend his title. Alongside winning the Nedbank Golf Challenge in South Africa in November, Homa has not finished worse than T21 since missing the cut at the Travelers Championship last June. Xander Schauffele will also be in California this week. He’s making his ninth start in San Diego where his best finish was T2, five shots off the winner in 2021. The American claimed T10 at The Sentry and T3 last week at The American Express to start the new season. Australian Min Woo Lee will also be in California this week after closing out 2023 winning twice in his last five events worldwide, including victories in Macau and Australia.

Steven jger had the lead overnight first time ever leading after 36 holes on the PGA tour and how about the start for Jagger to 13 under bar bur’s the first man from Germany removed here to the United States to play high school golf in Chattanooga Tennessee I
Tell you with this whole location it could play harder than 12 today K one thing Jagger’s done is work hard on his speed he’s trying to increase his driving distance which he has done really well over the course of the last couple years and he’s still driving it equally
As accurate as when he was shorter that’s a six iron on the way much higher flight really good looking if it’s the number oh yeah absolutely right at it if Henry’s going to read it and then he obviously saw nikolai’s ball cuz they’re about a foot apart or so so he knows
Exactly what it does it’s just about execution yeah well done first birdie of the day at the fourth and the leader gets it done he didn’t leave much back there this is also another good looking t- shot tell you what you pick up 13 yards
Over the course of a year that’s a lot and that’s what he did and it’s paying off if he catches it solid should land a couple yards on the front block this one drifting towards that bunker as well blocked it out he wasn’t set up to
Hit a draw I didn’t think it looked like to me he was set up at the left side of the Grain and he just blocked it oh this is doable on the up slope really clean life oh he thought it was doable too looking very comfortable out there
Jagger’s yet to win on the PGA tour he is really really improved the driving the last couple of years he said he was short and crooked that’s a bad combo yeah I know all about that now I’m just short and straight I can hear it land actually that’s a pitching wedge out of
A li just like the 10th ball above the feet too which tends to hit a little bit of a draw good safe shot there well done for Steven Jager he got a mouthful on that one played at the honest course and Chattanooga Country Club and on the bayor high school with
Keith Mitchell Harris English and he makes it that’s a birdie for Jager go figure you don’t make birdie at 13 and you snag one at 14 in there oh that’s a bonus that is a bonus up over that Ridge you’re never too sure how it’s going to Traverse up that
Slope and bumping all the way that need a strong finish here for joerger go yeah he’s LED most of the day and now he’s falling a shot back did close with eagle yesterday oop sorry on the other side so patterns there well let’s get back down the way
Because yger is going to go ahead and lay up while the action still up on the green no choice would this lie just an eight iron to layout first cut it’ll be fine pitching wedge from 1 126 121 front B just looks like it’s nestled down a touch good [Applause]
Shot well this is for the solo lead doesn’t take much time because it’s center cut with that birdie he shoots 73 all three players in this final group shot 73 I I just kind of lean on the work I’ve done over the last couple you know
Years couple months um you know it it it’s great to have some past success but you really that doesn’t really get you anything um I’m going to feel it tomorrow I’m going to be nervous um it was nice to kind of get some of that out
The day um some of those nerves and some of those different feelings that you do have um going on a day like that and I I felt like for me internally if I handled it really well um and uh super happy with how mentally you know kind of
Attack the golf course in different places now I didn’t have my best stuff today so um um you know I’d love to put put a little better hit a little more Fairways tomorrow um but you know it’s golf I try my best and that’s all we can
Do thanks for watching the PJ Tour on YouTube watch another video right here
