Graham DeLaet captured a few birdies over the weekend during the Barracuda Championship.
He finished tied for 29th place. This was his first time back at a PGA Tour tournament in over a month, after he took some time off to address some anxiety issues.
The Barracuda Championship uses a Modified Stableford scoring system, where golfers gain points for scoring a birdie, eagle or albatross, and lose points for a bogey or double bogey (or worse).
During the first round, DeLaet started on the back nine where he shot back-to-back birdies on holes 10 and 11, a bogey on hole 12, and then birdies on holes 14, 16 and 18. Then on the front nine, DeLaet had a birdie on hole 2, and bogeys on holes 4 and 7.
His round one score was 69, four-under-par, and he scored nine points.
During the second round, DeLaet scored birdies on holes three, six and 11, then had a bogey on hole seven and a double bogey on hole 18. He finished the round at 74, one-over-par, and lost a point.
In the third round, DeLaet scored back-to-back birdies on holes four and five, and then birdies on holes eight and 10. He hit one bogey, on hole 12. His score was 69, three-under-par, and he added seven points to his total.
In the fourth and final round, on the front nine, DeLaet had a birdie on hole two and a bogey on hole three. Then he had three back-to-back birdies on holes four, five and six; and a bogey on hole eight. Then on the back nine, DeLaet had a birdie on hole 10, and bogeys on holes 12 and 15. He finished the round with a birdie on hole 18.
His round four score was 70, two-under-par, which added eight points to his score.
