She was ready for a battle and brought her A game to Rio Pinar for the final 18 today. When the morning started, she was 7 strokes off the leader (we accidentally blogged 6 yesterday but it was 7) and damn near won trailing by only 2 strokes when she ran out of holes. Michael […]

Jordan is in solo third place at the close of day two at Rio Pinar shooting one over par. (Click for pics and details).
Today was a day of simple straight forward execution. Only one moment of terror for the parents (Hole 15, par 5, will explain later). During the round, B had two bogeys, 1 birdie, no three putts, no lost balls, no long putts where you hold your breath and cheer when it goes in, no chip […]

Jordan finished the front 9 today at 2 strokes under par in a tie with the leader, who is currently ranked #18 in the world for the class of 2026. 3 π₯βs and one bogey and only 14 putts were the statistics for the front. She would go on to par 10, bogey 11, par […]
Tomorrow Jordan will T off at 1:29 PM at Rio Pinar. Tournament will be 54 holes over 3 days. (Click for videos)
Time to get back to competition. B has played this course twice now and Carl feels that she has the layout down. Greens are lumpy and slow so distance control on the putting will be paramount. Jordan played a second practice round under Carlβs watchful eye on Tuesday and Carl videoed most of her swings. […]
Four and half weeks since Bermuda and Jordan is preparing to get back to the T Box this Saturday for the 54 hole Rio Pinar Junior Open in Orlando this weekend.
Since she came back from Bermuda she and Carl have been extremely focused on putting and the plane of her swing. Mind numbering practice for hours on end to get the club to stay on a direct line neither coming over the top or under the plane. Sounds like a ton of work because it […]
In the end Jordan finished in 11th place in what turned out to be a tournament of survival. (Click for pics and details).
This was not about golf but rather about just finishing . Conditions were brutal. There is no way anyone would have played golf today if it was for pleasure and it is doubtful anyone in the US would have played a tournament under these conditions but everyone had traveled far and they played. Kids who […]
Jordan played in the most brutal conditions imaginable today in Bermuda shooting +7 in round one, and +8 in round two (36 straight holes) to end the 2nd round in a three way tie for 10th place.
Winds were gusting over 40 miles and hour at one point in the tournament in driving rain. Finally, on the 15th hole, they blew the horn to stop play when BB sized hail pelted the field. This is a field of players that are all in the top few hundred of all junior players on […]
AJGA shares their plan for tomorrow and it is a doozy! (Click for details and pics).
As of right now the weather in Bermuda is properly dark and stormy. Wind is blowing at a constant 51mph gusting to almost 70. Rain is driving sideways, furniture on the deck is banging against the walls, and the lights are flickering. B is warm and cozy after a hot shower with headsets on working […]
With winds at just under gale force, 32 knots gusting to 50 Jordan is warming up for an 9am (8 est) T off of 11. (Click for pics and more).
They just canceled the day. Will update later. Ugh
