Jazz Janewattanannond scores magnificent 7 under with his "hot" rented putter

More than well done, Jazz Janewattanannond had number "30" written on his back nine totals. He bogeyed the 10th, but after that it was a huge birdie rush. He made 3 in a row from 11th, then again 3 birdies out of his last 4 holes.

After the round he was surrounded by the media. They all wanted to know why he was playing so great. Media was surprised to hear that one of the reasons was his putter, which was borrowed from a fellow professional player.

He was having a hard time with putting he recalled, and he was searching for a clue. He found hint from other players who were doing great on their putting. He ended up finding a putter that suited him but belonged to a friend.

"For the first 2 days, it didn't feel right, but today it was hot!"

Jazz has already won this year and also has the ticket to the British Open in July. He has been on very tight schedule and hasn't had any time off since the beginning of this season. His plan for next week is to go back home and rest. But if he wins this week, from the Money Ranking results he will be qualified to the US Open next week as well.

"Yeah, I heard that too. If I win, I could go and that will be great. But to be honest, I would like to go home and rest a little."

Jazz, you are very honest and humble man. That must be the reason why you are so blessed.

"If my putting is hot again tomorrow, I might win. If that happens, I won't give back that putter to my friend. It will be mine."

Would that putter choose to become Jazz's?
Let's see how hot it can be on the Final Round.
  • Jazz makes birdie on 12th with his "hot" rented putter
  • Jazz's tee shot on Par 3 13th for 3 staright birdies
