Zac Blair might moonlight as a golf course developer these days, but even at 32 years old and less than a year removed from a lengthy injury absence, Blair has never given up on his first love of being a PGA Tour player.
Blair missed about 21 months of competition following November 2020 shoulder surgery to repair two tears in his right labrum. He returned last July and is 16 starts into a major medical exemption.
On Friday at the Travelers Championship, Blair fired a second straight 5-under 65 to sit firmly in contention.
“The first year … I didn't really get to touch a club for a long time, and it was actually pretty nice just hanging out at home being with the family,” Blair said.
