« I hit my irons great again. I feel like I actually did a better job with that today in terms of just leaving myself more makeable putts, » Hubbard said.
« I’ve been hitting it close all week, but a lot of them have been kind of in tough spots, downhill, down grain. That little stretch I went on, pretty much every putt was just dead straight up the hill, so that was really nice. »
Hubbard, who is in search of his first PGA Tour victory, had just one birdie on his card until he rattled off five straight on 11-15 before another on the last for good measure, turning in a bogey-free round.
