THE FLATS

– Five Yellow Jackets, led by 2012 champion Matt Kuchar, are in the field for the PGA Tour’s premier event this weekend, The Players Championship … David Duval returns to the scene of a round of 62 that included two fairway hole-outs 24 years ago … More details below in this week’s Georgia Tech #ProJackets Report.

FIVE JACKETS IN THE FIELD FOR THE PLAYERS
Five of the seven Yellow Jackets on the PGA Tour are in the field this week for its premier event, The Players Championship in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. Stewart Cink, Chesson Hadley, Matt Kuchar, Cameron Tringale and Richy Werenski are set to play the stadium course at TPC Sawgrass.
Kuchar, currently No. 110 in the FedEx Cup standings, returns to the scene of one of his nine Tour victories, winning the event in 2012.
Vincent Whaley made the cut last weekend at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, tying for 61st place after a closing 79, while Tringale missed the cut. Tringale slipped only two spots in the FedEx Cup standings to No. 18. Whaley is No. 91.
All three Tech golfers took home paychecks at the Puerto Rico Open, with Werenski tying for 28th (280, -8), Seth Reeves tying for 41st (283, -5) and Hadley tying for 61st (287, -1).

DUVAL BACK IN TUCSON WHERE HE ONCE SHOT 62
David Duval was still about a year away from reaching World No. 1 but he arrived in Tucson having won three of his last eight starts. By that Sunday night, he was leaving town with another, giving him four wins in nine outings — the best in professional golf since Nick Price won four out of six PGA Tour events in 1994.
Along the way there was some bad weather. The back half of Friday’s second round was hit by a rainstorm but Duval was out early and posted a second-round 62 that featured two hole-outs from the fairway for eagle.
Duval was back in Tucson, Arizona, as a rookie on the PGA Tour Champions, with some recollections of that wild week 24 years ago. This time, he tied for 69th in the Cologuard Classic at the Omni Tucson National.

It’s the last look at the course before players hit the tee box bright and early Thursday for the first round of the Honda Classic.
