TORONTO – Despite missing a pair of cuts north of the border on the PGA Tour Americas circuit, former U-32 and University of Rhode Island (URI) golf star Bryson Richards showed promise, carding the two lowest rounds of his young professional career late last month.
Richards fired a season-low five under 67 in round two in Ottawa at Eagle Creek Golf Club to bounce back from a shaky start (77) in round one on July 24. He followed that up with a second round 69 in Toronto at the Heatherlands the following week to finish under par for the tournament for the first time on the PGA Tour Americas. Richards is 0-4 in cuts made in his young PGA Tour career, but is starting to show the game that won him a school-record six collegiate wins at URI, along with two Vermont State Amateur titles. The smooth lefty will look to make the field at the Manitoba Open in Winnipeg next week.
