Professional golfer Adam Schenk stunned onlookers with his remarkable performance on Day 3 of the highly anticipated Charles Schwab Challenge. Schenk emphasized his happiness after the round, saying:
"We just did a really good job managing everything - it was one of those days where right where we were looking was right where I actually hit it." It doesn't happen very often, but it's lovely when it does."
Harry Hall, a PGA Tour rookie, had planned to wear his Vegas Golden Knights jersey when playing Colonial's par-3 13th hole on Saturday. After dropping out of first place due to successive double bogeys, that strategy changed. Hall's fortunes turned, as he finished the third round tied for first with Schenk at 10-under 200.
Following his recovery, the Englishman, who now resides in Las Vegas after finishing his collegiate career at UNLV, finally donned the shirt to support his favourite NHL team after the round.
“Being 3 over going into the (13th) hole, I didn’t think that would be the best thing to do,” said Hall, who was the solo leader after the first and second rounds. "Yeah, I’m T1 after the round, so I thought I’d wear it in the interviews.”
Adam Schenk's skill and focus throughout the event have solidified his place as a formidable challenger. After leading the field outright in the first two rounds, he had a brief setback with bogeys on the sixth and seventh holes in his third round. Schenk regained his calm and carded a brilliant 72, finishing equal with Hall.
Schenk's performance peaked on the final hole, where he displayed steely nerves. Faced with an uncomfortable chip shot from the fringe and an awkward stance that left his heels teetering over the lip of a bunker, Adam Schenk unleashed a magnificent stroke that resulted in a stunning 10-foot par-saving putt.
