Michael Allen and David Frost share the second spot in the Liberty Mutual Insurance Legends of Golf – Golf News
Michael Allen and David Frost partnered in the opening round of the Liberty Mutual Insurance Legends of Golf to share the second place on the leaderboard, on Friday, April 20, 2012.
Both the players got off to an amazing start, carding five birdies on the first five holes that they played. Another two birdies on the seventh and eighth holes took them to seven-under par on the front nine.
However, their back-nine score was not as impressive as it was registered by the leaders, Brad Bryant and Tom Purtzer.
They only managed to make three birdies on the back nine and settled for 10-under par first round score.
On the other hand, Bryant and Purtzer carded seven birdies on the back nine, in addition to five that came on the front nine.
Therefore, they shared the second spot with Kenny Perry and Russ Cochran, Jeff Sluman and Brad Faxon, and Bruce Fleisher and Tom Jenkins.
Overall, both the players played amazingly well. The course was quite favourable to the players and birdies were really easy to come.
Yet, the players needed to hold on to their nerves and play their natural game. That was the only way to get the maximum out of the course.
Therefore, both the players continued to move forward and did not put in unnecessary efforts in their game that could have harmed their score on the leaderboard.
“There was a couple times when one of us was out of the hole and the other guy kind of stepped up and made a birdie, but for the most part we did what we were supposed to do. We were both pretty much in every hole and had a lot of opportunities,” Allen said.
“I think it was kind of what we were trying to do out here, but it was nice to get off to that good start where we were 7 under after eight holes so that kind of got us going,” he added.
According to Frost, Allen gave him a great deal of confidence that helped him display a good game on the course.
“You know, it was nice to come out with Michael this week,” he said. “My confidence rose just because I had him with me and we both got off to a great start”.
