Web.com Tour Colombia Championship Thursday
Sam Saunders
Greetings from Bogota, Colombia. I’ve spent the day roaming Country Club De Bogota watching these amazing players and shooting a bunch of photos. I followed a few of the players around including Sam Saunders, who was on fire. Saunders had 10 3’s on the scorecard. The first score higher than a four on his card was the five he carded on his 17th hole, the par-5 8th. Unfortunately he made a double on the last hole or he would have the lead. The leader in the club house is Danny Lee, who fired a -7 64 (par is 71 here for the players but 72 for the members). A few players are still out on the course but it doesn’t look like there is much chance they’ll catch Danny.
The weather here in Bogota is quite pleasant, going back and forth between light jacket to no jacket throughout the day depending on the wind. Mid 60’s and about 50 raindrops around noon.
I followed around my new pals Mike and Kevin Foley on the 18th hole (their 9th) and got some good shots of them. They’re probably wishing I followed them for all 18 because they made birdie on that hole. Check out this cool shot of them (and be sure to click it for the larger version):

Colombia Championship – Bogota, Colombia
Feb. 28-March 3
Unfortunately the Colombia Championship, where I am right now, is not on TV in the USA this week.
Colombia Championship Pro-Am
I´m typing on a Spanish keyboard so if any strange spellings or key strokes happen here please forgive me.
Today was an absolute blast here in Bogota, Colombia. I had the great privilege of playing golf with the current Web.com Tour money leader Kevin Foley. He won the first event last week in Panama and thus is the current money leader! The blast part comes from how far he hits it here at about 9000 feet above sea level. I figured out how to club off of Kevin, he hits his irons exactly 28 yards farther than I do.
Below is my caddie Arthur, who did a great job. When you and your caddie do not speak the same language, the communication can still be great, as was the case today.
Caddie Arthur and the Birdie Man
The Pro-Am was a scramble for the amateurs. I managed FOUR natural birdies and made an 80 foot putt! My new Colombian knick name is birdie man.
Colombia Photos
I´ll be uploading photos throughout the week. Check out the Colombia Championship image gallery.

This one is a biggie. I’ve geared up. Got my Nikon, golf clubs, MacBook Pro and passport in hand. I’m flying for some 10+ hours today to a part of the world I’ve yet to see, South America.
The HOG World Tour is heading to Bogota, Colombia! My connecting flight is to Atlanta today with a very tight connection, 42 minutes. Then from ATL I fly direct to Bogota. I land in Bogota very late.
Why?
In Bogota I’ll be checking out a few of the golf courses, touring the city of Bogota as well as covering and participating in the Web.com Tour’s Colombia Championship. I’m going to playing in the Pro-Am Wednesday!
