Tommy Sharp’s stay at the Bank of Utah Championship did not last as long as he had hoped. Sharp shot a second round 82, and finished 15 over par for his two rounds, and did not make the cut.
“That was as torturous of a round as I have ever played,” he said. “I lost my swing, and the course was tough, the greens were spicey, and it wasn’t what I had hoped for.”
He said his favorite moment of the second round was his birdie on the par 3 17th hole, when he got to hear his 12 year old son Alex yell “Nice birdie dad!”.
Sharp said “Overall, it was a fun experience, to see how the big boys play on a tough course like that. But it doesn’t fit my game. You have to hit it high and far, and I hit it low and let it run. I would be better off playing in Ireland!”
