Brendan Steele posted a six-over-par 73-79-73-69 — 294 at The CJ Cup @ Shadow Creek in Las Vegas last week to finish tied for 65th place.
His tournament driving accuracy of only 58.93% seemed to lead to a greens-in-regulation difficulty (only 59.72%) and his putter was not helping (-1.293 strokes to the field each day), but on Sunday he got it together.
He pounded drives averaging 301.5 yards into 64.29% of the fairways and hit 77.78% of the greens in regulation while gaining 2.160 strokes on the field putting.
So, the Idyllwild native should be ready to tee it up this week in the $8-million ZOZO Championship @ Sherwood at the Sherwood Country Club in Thousand Oaks. He’ll open play with Andrew Landry and Gary Woodland teeing off Thursday at 10:45 a.m. and Friday at 11:51 a.m.

    The second game pitted the Café Aroma Galaxy and the La Casita Ravens. The Galaxy played tough defense as Julia Wangler fought off the Ravens’ attack over and over. The Ravens’ Elie Manchester played a great game while hustling around the field.
