LAS VEGAS – Making his first PGA Tour start in nearly two years, Graham DeLaet admitted he was uncomfortable.
The Canadian has gotten used to playing money games at home with his friends, riding around in carts and having a beer or two.
During a front-nine 40, one that included a triple bogey just three holes into his return, he was gripping his putter too tightly and trying to guide his ball around TPC Summerlin.
And yet, DeLaet realized he was enjoying himself.
“I was 5 over through four [holes] … but it didn’t even matter,” he said after a Thursday 76 at the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open. “I was out there having fun. I’m back on the PGA Tour again.”
