Coming off a fine tie for second place in his second LIV event at Tucson two weeks ago, Brendan Steele posted a three-under-par score last week in the LIV tournament in Orlando to finish in a tie for 36th place with a $141,000 official-money pay out.

In a post-round interview televised by LIV, the native Idyllwilder related that between rounds he had been working on difficulty he had been having with drives going left, especially in strong right-to-left winds. Acknowledging his well-known strong grip (which does not help that situation), he was countering by teeing the ball lower which allowed him to keep the shot lower and less affected by the wind.

He said he also was having problems with his irons in right-to-left winds throwing his shots well left of the intended line. For that, he was working on his start line to shape his drives better under such wind conditions.

Brendan is expected to tee it up next in the land down under on The Grange Golf Club course in Adelaide, Australia, Friday, April 21.
