Consistent at making cuts, Mark Hubbard now aims to make it pay off at the PGA Championship
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Those big, crooked numbers bunched on one side of his scorecard made Mark Hubbard wonder if his luck was running out.
He was thankful to straighten out things on the other side and remain within sight of the leaders at the PGA Championship.
Hubbard’s 3-under 68 on Friday was three strokes off his opening-round score at Valhalla Golf Club, owing to three bogies over a five-hole stretch on the front nine. Six other birdies more than erased those and kept him within three shots of leader Xander Schauffele (-12) on a rainy Friday delayed and dampened by the predawn death of a pedestrian worker, soon followed by the shocking arrest of world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler because of an altercation with Louisville police.
“I putted really well today,” said Hubbard, who needed a quick recovery with a morning start following a late Thursday evening finish. “I wasn’t moving quite as well, driving it quite as well as yesterday, so it made it a little tougher.
