With Oak Hill’s East Course playing wet and long, it catered to the physical strength that is a large part of his game. In the same type of scoring conditions, Garrigus posted his best finish in a major, a T-3 in the 2011 U.S. Open at Congressional.
Sitting four off the lead in a tie for seventh Saturday, Garrigus was expecting a big day warming up with swing coach Jim Ahern, strength coach Eric AH-Yuen and caddie Brent Henley. The session was so good, AH-Yuen took video for future reference.
