ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. – Brendon Todd’s hopes for another victory are still alive at a course where he’s already hoisted a trophy.
He won the SEC Championship on Sea Island’s Seaside Course when he was a freshman at Georgia. Todd, who’s won his last two PGA TOUR starts, is 10 under par after starting The RSM Classic with back-to-back 66s. He’s four shots behind leader Tyler Duncan, who shot 61 on Sea Island’s Seaside Course on Friday.
Todd is coming off back-to-back victories at the Bermuda Championship and Mayakoba Golf Classic. He is the FedExCup leader, and his comeback from the full-swing yips has been the story of the fall.
“I'm just going out there and playing my game, which all of a sudden is fairways and greens and holing a lot of putts,” Todd said Friday. He’s hit 27 of 28 fairways this week, tied for best in the field. He’s missed just nine greens.
Friday’s 66 on Sea Island’s Plantation Course was his 11th consecutive round of 68 or lower. Seven of those rounds have been 66 or lower. He has a 65.6 scoring average in that span and is 59 under par.
“I've got a lot of confidence and I'm giving myself a lot of birdie putts. I'm able to go out there and make a lot of birdies every round, which helps,” he said.
