Haugen missed Only four fairways in his first three rounds and on those occasions it was a Case of being a hair off line or get Ting a bit of a draw on his Ball but mostly because he hits the Ball so dog gunned far. At the 595-Yard, Par five 16th, for in stance he almost reached the Green with his second shot sunday aided by a slight trailing wind. When he did have a trouble shot he certainly knew what to do with u. After hitting his drive left on the Lith Fairway in deep grass on the Steep tree lined Bank he pondered the situation.
