Great stuff and such a great person. Loved having him when he played at
@OspreyMGolf. Will be fun to be on site for him and Nick this week.
Yes this tweet is really long. But yes, it’s worth your time. THIS is what Mondays are all about.
Kevin Aylwin is a mini-tour legend. Has won over 30 multi-day events. In 2022 his house flooded from a hurricane. He and his wife Chelsea, a teacher, escaped on paddle boards. For the first time he had to get a full time to help redo the house. They lived at friends for 150 days. Kevin worked 40 hours a week most weeks and played events when he could.
He signed up for the Valspar pre-Q late and the field was full. But last Tuesday they called him to let him know he had a spot in the Thursday Pre.
On Thursday morning at the club he works at, he helped get men’s day started then headed for his prequel tee time of 1:30.
On 18 at the pre-q he got up and down to shoot 69 and make it to the Monday on the number.
Today he turned in 1 under, then birdied five holes on the back, got up and down on both 17 and 18 for par and shot 65.
And at dark he officially qualified for his first ever pga tour event.
Nearly 12 years after turning pro.
I fucking love Mondays.
