Brad Adamonis didn't face an serious adversity Friday until his final hole. Going against his better judgment, Adamonis hit a driver instead of a 3-wood on the dogleg right, par-4 ninth hole, his tee shot running through the fairway and into a bunker. Adamonis then bladed his approach over the green and under a small tree, thinking it might be out of bounds. But Adamonis had a window to the green, hunched over and pitched a shot about 15 feet past the pin. He made the par-saver for a 2-under 68 and 36-hole total of 132 that kept him among the leaders in the Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands. "It was a great way to end the day," Adamonis said. The final stroke kept the PGA TOUR's oldest rookie (35) bogey-free for the day thanks in large part to a lesson and a new putter he got back last weekend from his father, Dave. It also epitomized the philosophy that his dad preaches to his Johnson & Wales golf team, which won the NAIA championship in 2005.

35? Old? When 900 years he reaches, look as good as me he will not.
