From Adam Schupak, Yahoo!Sports:
Cameron Champ bombed his tee at 18, but his partner, Tony Finau, wasn’t overly impressed. He described it as “a bunt of 340.” So what if Shotlink only had it traveling 320 yards.
“I necked it,” said Champ, who ranks third in driving distance on the PGA Tour this season.
Finau joked that he expected to have a shorter iron in to the par 5 than his 3-iron and needled Champ that if he was only going to bunt one out there, “maybe on Sunday I’ll hit on 18 so I can get it a little closer in.”
Finau and Champ, who tabbed themselves Team Send It, could joke about their prodigious length after finishing with a birdie and a share of the 36-hole lead at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans. They teamed for an alternate-shot score of 4-under 68 at TPC Louisiana, which tied for the low round of the day, and improved to 13-under 131, matching the total of Viktor Hovland and Kris Ventura.
