Rising star Pierceson Coody finds himself in contention at the 2024 Charles Schwab Challenge - "My game's going the right direction"

Following the great second round at the Charles Schwab Challenge, Pierceson Coody said it was a nice feeling to finish at T2 ahead of the weekend. He added that it was nice to know that his game was heading in the right direction.

On Friday, May 24, Pierceson Coody carded 5-under 65 to aggregate at 8-under after two rounds. He started with an eagle on hole 2, then made two straight bogeys before making birdies on the 6th and 8th and again a bogey on the ninth. He was just 2-under par after 15 holes, but three straight birdies put him in joint second place.

During the post-round interview, Pierceson Coody reflected on his performance. He said as per PGA Tour:

"It's a nice feeling because the season hasn't been what I wanted it to this year, and to know that my game's going the right direction, it's great. I'm trying to stay kind of in a process mindset with everything and just build because I know I have still a lot of events left and an opportunity to go win the tournament is a great feeling. Yeah, I'm pleased with where I'm heading."

Pierceson Coody was happy with his putter and with some of his wedge and approach shots which helped him to earn birdies on the last few holes.

"Just looking forward to hopefully some consistent ball striking this weekend," he added."
