The Brandon native and ex-Ole Miss Rebel shot long birdies on holes 16 & 18. After struggling through the first round, he was able to make it to the final round. His 41-footer was made from across the green at No. 18 directly in front the Sanderson Farms hospitality room, brought a roaring crowd. Randolph stated, “It’s funny. I shot yesterday a 68 that could have easily been a 64 or 65. Then I shot today a 70 that could have been 72 or 73.” “Overall, I feel good about it. I feel very comfortable out there. Randolph said, “I hit many really good putts today and on Thursday that could have gone in.” It was an amazing lift to get them both to play on 16 and 18. It makes a big difference.” Randolph was a rookie golfer who won nearly $200,000 on Web.com Tour last year and earned his PGA Tour card. He immediately went to the practice area to improve his driver. Randolph stated, “I wasn’t hooking or cutting it, I was just pulling it up and pushing it.” Randolph said that Randolph had fine-tuned some things and feels like he corrected the problem. I look forward to the following two days.” *** Sanderson Farms CEO Joe Sanderson is also looking forward to these next two days. He was the one who provided title sponsorship for Mississippi’s only PGA Tour event four years ago. Sanderson spoke of the sunny, warm weather as “this is what we have been looking for.” “This is how fall weather in Mississippi should be.” Sanderson Farms has pledged to sponsor the tournament worth $4.1 million. The tournament has had weather problems in the past and will continue through 2026. Sanderson stated, “We would take the sunshine every year.”
