Loren Roberts always has been known as the Boss of the Moss because of his good putting stroke (greens are closely croppsd, like moss). He can hit the ball from tee to green, too. He did both well enough today to take the first-round lead at the Commerce Bank Classic with a 6 under par 65.
Roberts was having a decent round, but he got really hot toward the end and turned it into an outstanding round. He did that by hitting his drives and second shots so well that he had short putts for bitdies on the par-4 15th and the par-5 17th.
Then his putter stole the show, sinking a 42-foot, five-inch birdie bomb for a birdie 3 on No. 18.
