JOHNS CREEK, Ga. – After cracking her driver mid-round on Thursday at the KPMG Women’s PGA, Patty Tavatanakit finished the round driverless. She still shot 2-under 70, which was only three shots off the lead at the time and outdrove her playing competitors, Celine Boutier and Yani Tseng, with her 3-wood. It wasn’t until 6 a.m. ET on Friday when she received her replacement and still shot 1-under 71.

“I have a really, really good support system with people in Orlando. I'm really thankful for that,” said Tavatanakit, after one of them drove up from Orlando to Atlanta to deliver an old driver.
