The Highlands course at the Robert Trent Jones’ Highland Oaks facility played difficult Monday for the 10-under golfers during the 74th Annual Press Thornton Future Masters.
Playing through light rain at times and delayed twice by lightning, none of the 43-golfer field broke even on the par 36 course.
Matthew DeRoy of Foley and Reed Rodriguez of Missouri City, Texas, were both a shot back at 2-over. Five others – Andrew Ayuso of Cypress, Texas, Grayson Cook of Chesterfield, N.J., Reed Abdelnour of West Palm Beach, Fla, Micaiah Lewis of Delaware, Ohio, and Simon Bustos of Chattanooga, Tenn. – were tied at 3-over-par.
Another lightning delay in the middle of the afternoon halted play 30 minutes with four groups still left. The final group finished shortly before 4 p.m. “I hit my hybrid and kind of cut it a bit and it went right toward the green,” Monssoh said. “I did a chip shot and it landed about 30 feet from the hole and it rolled down a bit. I had like a10 footer and I made it.”
“I just focused on my game,” Monssoh said, who said he was on the putting green on the last hole when the harder rain occurred. “I didn’t worry about the rain.”
