GEEZ LOUISE! Fascinating stuff. What insight, what skill!
Uncle Chris, known for his low scores and heaters at the ready, has shot up the YMOTY rankings and will always be a threat to win any tournament he enters. He’s got a real chance to take home the title this Sunday at the Genesee Invitational when he tees it up with teammate Brandon Moyhnihan — one of only a few teams in the field that aren’t considered bell ringers. However, regardless of where he finishes on the leaderboard, you can always count on this nice young man to have a Very Nice Time (VNT).
We’ll also be keeping a close eye on the results Sunday and how it shakes up the Young Man of the Year rankings. It’s long been considered a three man race between Miers, Sawyer, and Danny Driffill, and Sunday’s scores will have massive ramifications as we head into the fourth and final FLX Major of the year.
