This week: Nationwide Tour’s Henrico County Open, The Dominion Club, Richmond, Va.
Final-round score: 2-under-par 70.
Position: Putnam (9-under 279) finished tied for 17th, five strokes
behind winner Greg Chalmers (14-under 274), who defeated Henrik
Bjornstad in a playoff.
Recap: Putnam put together his best round of the tournament, from tee
(hit 12 of 14 fairways) to green (14 of 18 greens in regulation), and
made very little on the greens (32 putts). He finished up strong with
birdies on the 15th and 18th holes, and was tops in the field in
driving distance this week (297.4 yards per drive). Putnam earned
$6,767 for his finish.
