AND FINAU, ZALATORIS, LOWRY, A SOLID GROUP. TODD AND REX. >> SAWGRASS SOUNDS LIKE A NOUN BUT IT’S BEEN USED AS A VERB BY SOME PLAYERS. WHAT DOES BEING SAWGRASSED MEAN? >> JORDAN SPIETH, TALKING BEFORE HE MADE THE TRIP, TRYING TO GET AN IDEA OF THE TEST OF THIS GOLF

5s, AROUND THE GREENS WITH THE SLOPES AND MOGULS, COULD BE CLOSE IN TWO AND STILL MAKE
