NORTH BERWICK, Scotland – Cameron Tringale needed a pep talk after four holes Thursday at the Genesis Scottish Open.
“I got off to a slow, uncommitted start, and I decided if you're going to be out here, let's make some positive swings,” said Tringale, who played his final 14 holes in 9 under for a course-record tying 61 and the early lead at The Renaissance Club.
Tringale said the spark was his putting, and he finished his round first in the field in strokes gained: putting, including four putts over 10 feet.
“My putter was en fuego,” Tringale observed.
