'I knew I had been putting in the work. It was just a matter of being patient.' It's been a long road, but former UNFOspreys golfer Philip Knowles is finally ready for his breakthrough on the PGATour.
Knowles bounced back with ties for 23rd in Kansas City and for 25th in Raleigh, then a tie for 12th in Greenville, S.C. "I was one back at around the middle of the front nine the last day," he said."That was a big week for me, the launching pad. I told my caddie [former UNF teammate Jack Comstock] and my dad, 'we're competing and we can win one. Let's go do it.
Knowles said he had a conversation with Comstock heading to the first finals event in Boise where they gave each other some encouragement for the final push. "He told me that he really liked where his swing was and he didn't really need to work on anything," Ragland said."He wanted his mind clear. I knew he was in a really good state of mind. Then he goes out and shoots 61 [in the first round]."Knowles left no doubt at the Hillcrest Country Club. He followed up a career-low 61 in the first round with a 64 to take the lead, then had to go to a playoff with Will Gordon and MJ Daffue after weekend scores of 68-70.
After Knowles tied for 17th in the Korn Ferry Finals, with weekend rounds of 66-67, he celebrated in a quiet, unconventional fashion: he let his wife drive back to Jacksonville the next day and he sat in the passenger seat and watch the Midwest countryside blend into the familiarity of the Deep South.
And Knowles said he will always owe a debt to Schroeder and UNF assistant coach Jeff Dennis for helping him prepare for the professional grind while playing for the Ospreys.
