Rodgers continues hot start with 66 at Mayakoba
PLAYA DEL CARMEN, Mexico – When discussing the newest crop of promising prospects on the PGA Tour, don’t forget about Patrick Rodgers.
Sure, other players from his Web.com Tour graduating class have already beaten him into the winner’s circle, as has his roommate Justin Thomas. But Rodgers, 23, is off to a strong start in his first full season, with three straight top-20 finishes entering this week’s OHL Classic at Mayakoba.
He appears in position to continue that streak in Mexico, having followed an opening 67 with a 5-under 66. Rodgers took advantage of the calm conditions afforded to the morning’s first threesome, and at 9 under he trails Graeme McDowell by three shots.
