Golfers have not only had to contend with the TPC Louisiana course at the Zurich Classic in New Orleans over the first two days of the tournament, but they also had to try to beat the weather to get in their respective rounds.  

During Thursday's first round, inclement weather suspended play for five hours, which already meant that Friday's second round would be pushed back. It didn't help that weather once again delayed the second round for almost two hours on Friday, which means that more than 70 golfers will have to finish up Saturday morning.

His last came at No. 18 thanks to this approach shot that managed to cut through the blustery conditions to set up an easy birdie putt, via the PGA Tour:



Lovemark was able to put himself in good situations thanks to his driving, as he averaged more than 306 yards per shot. That's 20-plus yards more than the PGA Tour average at the tournament. 

With that kind of distance on those drives, he was able to get to those lower irons in his bag and reach the green sooner. 

It was an impressive outing given the windy conditions that were just a preview of the storms that came later in the day. He spoke about his approach with the PGA Tour after his round:



Jhonattan Vegas overcame a rocky start and is tied with Lovemark after a three-under on the day sank him to 11 under overall.

Beginning on the back nine, Vegas' birdie on No. 10 was quickly nullified by a double bogey on No. 11 after his second shot went out ...
