So we returned to the Grand Shithole on Tuesday to play BASIS Phoenix and Lincoln Prep. It was 108 degrees and a bit windy and Trevor was +6 after six holes, with only one par. He finally got it together on #7 with a par as the team battled with darkness. Another par on #8 and he was running to the final tee box, a 355 yard par 5 (yes, par 5). He drilled his tee shot about 275 yards, aided by a rock hard fairway. We finally found the ball and I had to run and stand behind the pin so he could see it. I couldn't see the ball in the air but I heard it land and watched it track perfectly as it broke a couple of feet right to the hole, coming to rest about six inches away. The tap in eagle gave him the win!
X3 Tournament Championship - final tour stop. The boy was in 3rd place overall and the only chance he had to win it all was to win the tournament and have both Conner (2nd overall) and Chase (leader) place 7th or lower. That wasn't going to happen. He just had to beat Cruz Cooper (4th overall) outright to maintain his position at 3rd overall - and he did. He birdied holes 3 and 5 and went into the 6th hole at even par. Doubles on 6 and 8 cost him but he finished strong with a par on 9 to end up +5, good enough for 2nd place behind Chase, who finished +3.
