Nationwide Mutual Open Winged Foot
Thurs. Jake fires a 76 +6 for 47th. The leaders are at even par.
Fri. Jake's 78 puts him at +14, but since no one is playing the course well, he only drops to 58th for his 6th consecutive cut. Aussie Matthew Goggin at +2 holds a 3 stroke lead.
Sat. Jake plays a nice 68 to move to +12 and jump up to a tie for 8th. Russell Knox of Scotland takes the lead with a +4.
Sun. Jake gets 73 which is good enough to finish 7th. He wins 20,937. Knox with a +7 is good enough to win. 2 top ten finishes in a row have allowed Jake to move to 24th on the money list. With 7 events left, he has a good shot at making it into the top 20 to join the big boys next year.
