Doug Ghim (ranked #446) and Nicholas Lindheim (#208), both fighting to take advantage of the few opportunities they have to make a living on the PGA, scored big paydays at the Byron Nelson tournament at Trinity Forest in Dallas, Texas.
Ghim and Lindheim tied for 12th, earning $154,000 for their efforts. Ghim carded a 63 on his opening round, and followed that up with steady play over the last three rounds. Lindheim closed with three birdies on the final six holes of the final round on Sunday.
Nowhere will you find anyone extolling the play of guys like Ghim and Lindheim, but these are the kind of players that fascinate us. Do you think it matters to Brooks Koepka whether he finished 4th (which he did) or 40th in this tournament? We can assure you it does not. But for Ghim and Lindheim, 12th place finishes give them momentum and the financial resources to carry on.
