What a moving day for Michael Thompson at the Albertsons Boise Open! All he did was shoot a field leading seven under par (64) and jumped into a tie for first with Scott Stallings. He continued his solid fairways and greens approach and for the third straight round hit 13 out 18 greens in regulation. He improved his driving accuracy over the first two rounds by hitting 11 out of 14 fairways. He is now tied for third in driving accuracy for the tournament.
“I was hitting my mid and short irons really well, my wedges really well, and gave myself a lot of chances for birdie inside 15 feet...especially on the back nine, I made basically every putt inside 15 feet except for the last one. You can’t complain when that happens, and I’ve been struggling with my putting, so this is really nice to see and it gives me some confidence going forward.”
Since he was in contention early after his birdie-birdie start, Michael got plenty of TV coverage on the Golf Channel. The highlights of the coverage are shown below. Since he's in the final group tomorrow, hopefully we will get to follow his round on TV once again. The Golf Channel coverage goes on the air tomorrow at 12:00pm PT while Michael tees off at 10:10am PT.
