Marcel SIEM -8
Marcel Siem enjoyed one of those memorable days where everything just went right. He holed a 5 iron at the 3rd for an eagle and then canned back to back greenside bunker shots on the 17th and 18th to finish with a 64. Looking at his Genworth Statistics, the 32 year old German talent hit 76.9% of the fairways in regulation and 66.7% of the greens in regulation. He led the Par 4 Scoring with a 3.38 average and produced some amazing short game and putting statistics as a result of the three holed shots. Looking forward, a win this week could gain Marcel entry into The Masters.
