Tom Kite and Wes Short Jr., both Champions Tour players from Austin, were paired together in the final round of the ACE Group Classic, played at the Twin Eagles Country Club in Naples, Florida. The pairing must have agreed with them. Kite shot three under par and Short posted five under. Kite finished T23 and commented that he felt like he was making progress on his game.
Short, who earned a spot on the Champions Tour by winning the Champions Tour qualifying school by five shots, has finished well in his first two starts on the tour. This week, his seven under par total was good for a T11 finish. He commented that the final round pairing was fun and that he enjoyed playing with Tom. Nothing like some hometown boys playing good golf together….
