LA QUINTA, Calif. – It’s been a historic week for Davis Thompson, a PGA Tour rookie who matched the circuit record for eagles in a tournament (five) through two rounds at The American Express.
It didn’t start out that way.
Like many players, Thompson was traveling on Monday from Hawaii, where he played last week’s Sony Open, to California when his plane was forced to turn around and return to Honolulu. By the time he and his caddie arrived in San Francisco, they were forced to spend the night and didn’t arrive in the Coachella Valley until 11 a.
