Justin Hicks Leads Corebridge Financial Team Members into Weekend of 86th Senior PGA Championship Justin Hicks, a PGA Teaching Professional at Stonebridge Country Club in Boca Raton, Florida, is currently tied for sixth place and leads 10 members of the Corebridge Financial team into the weekend of the 86th Senior PGA Championship at The Concession Golf Club in Bradenton, Florida. This marks Hicks’s first appearance in the Senior PGA Championship, where he has positioned himself strongly on the leaderboard. Hicks opened the tournament with a 3-under 69 in the first round, placing him three strokes behind the lead. His performance continued to improve in the second round on Friday, where he started with a strong run of birdies on holes 10, 12, and 14. “Yeah, I hit a lot of great shots,” Hicks said after his round. “Then we kind of made the turn, and golf happened a little bit.” Despite a challenging stretch on the front nine, where he encountered difficulties on the greens and posted bogeys on holes 2 and 5, Hicks salvaged his round with an impressive eagle on the Par-5 7th hole. The eagle putt, which traveled approximately 45 feet from just off the green, was a pivotal moment for Hicks. “I hung in there and decided to try to give it a run there at seven. I left it just short and holed a long putt,” he explained. “I think I was so excited I didn’t know how to hit the next tee shot.” The successful eagle secured a second consecutive 3-under par, 69 round, placing Hicks at 6-under par overall heading into the weekend. Hicks’s performance has been particularly notable given his dual role as a coach. On typical Fridays, he spends two hours teaching junior golfers at his club, but this weekend in Bradenton has been anything but routine.#pga_of_america #justin_hicks #corebridge_financial #stonebridge_country_club #the_concession_golf_club
