Just in time to play the delayed role of defending champion, Jim Herman seems to have found his golf game.
After a rough patch earlier this year, one in which he missed the cut eight times in 10 tournaments, the Cincinnati native has finished in the top 30 in each of his last three events, including a T-28 at last weekend’s John Deere Classic in Silvis, Illinois.
And now Herman heads back to Keene Trace Golf Club in Nicholasville, Kentucky, just on the outskirts of Lexington. Two years ago, Herman hoisted the trophy after the Barbasol Championship, using a scintillating 62 in the third round en route to the win.
