“I was a little rusty, but it was pretty fun out there today,” Brazeal said. “Everything was slightly, and I just couldn’t get the ball in the hole. The course is long and tight. It is weird because it looks like an open course, but the fairways are tight and narrow. If you miss you were in deep rough.”
He opened the round just before 10:30 a.m. eastern time with three straight pars, before suffering back-to-back bogeys on a holes three, a 497 yard par-4, and four, a 235 yard par-3. He finished the front nine with a three more pars and a birdie on the 426 yard par-4 eighth hole with a 37 (+1) at the turn.
Brazeal opened the back nine with a bogey on the 424 yard par-4 tenth hole and a bogey on 583 yard par-5 12th. He rattled off three straight pars on 13, 14 and 15 before closing the round with bogeys on the par-5 590 yard 16th hole, par-3 243 yard 17th hole and par-4 496 yard 18th hole to complete the round.
“I got frustrated and lost focus the last three holes and the wind picked up so it made those holes tough,” Brazeal said of his final three holes.
“He shot a 78 on a really hard golf course,” head coach Vic Lipscomb said. “He drove the ball really well. For him not picking up a club in a week he did real well. I think he is going to be alright.”
