Bluffton native feeling ‘really good' ahead of Club Car Championship
SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) — Bluffton native Bryson Nimmer said he's feeling 'really good' about his golf game ahead for the Club Car Championships later this week at The Landings Golf & Athletic Club.
The Clemson alum has not played a lot of golf this year on the Korn Ferry tour. His only tournament so far on the tour was the Astaria Chile Classic almost a month ago. He made the cut and finished tied for 53rd.
In 2024, Nimmer played in 18 events. He made the cut seven times and had two Top 25 finishes.
The Landings is a relatively short course at just under 7,200 yards and the wind can present a challenge at times.
'You just have to hit it well all around here,' Nimmer said. 'The wind can get up, obviously, here in Savannah. So just kind of managing your game, messing it in the right spots when you do get on tricky holes and just try to make as many pars and birdies as you can. Eliminate the big numbers.'
Nimmer tees off in the first round at 9:10 a.m. from the first tee with Marcelo Rozo and Harry Hillier. As for the second round, Nimmer's group has the late time at 2:25 p.m. from the 10th hole.
Savannah native Hughes Threlkeld will tee off ten minutes later from the 10th hole. In his threesome is Parker Gillam and Robbie Higgins.
Threlkeld's group is also ten minutes behind Nimmer's for the second round.
As for Savannah native Shad Tuten, he will tee off much later in the day, 2:15 p.m. from the 10th hole. He is paired with Evan Harmeling and Chase Sienkiewicz. Tuten's group has the early time in the second round at 9:00 a.m. off the first tee.
The field was finalized late Tuesday afternoon.
There was a delay because the Monday qualifier was not complete due to rain. The field will have 156 players and had 10 alternates.
Nimmer received a sponsors' exemption to be in the field.

Republicans keep winning streak alive at Congressional baseball game
WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) – Republicans and Democrats faced off Wednesday night for the annual Congressional baseball game. Republicans won for the fifth year in a row. It's a friendly competition for a good cause. Organizers say they've raised more than $2.8 million dollars, a new record. The money goes toward charities serving children and families in the Washington, D.C., area. California Democratic Congressman Gil Cisneros says the game sets a good example for the country. 'Whenever we work together, whenever we do things together, it always shows something positive for the country,' said Cisneros. The game also marks eight years since Louisiana Congressman Steve Scalise was shot at a Republican baseball practice. This year, he was first at bat. Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.) says the friendly competition shows Americans things aren't as divided as they seem, even if just for a night. 'There's plenty of things to argue about tomorrow in Washington but tonight we're here for a good cause and it'll be a lot of fun,' said Schmitt. Organizers say they sold more than 30,000 tickets for the game. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

US Open tee time awaits Docherty less than a month after horrific car accident
OAKMONT, Pa. (AP) — What Alistair Docherty thought was smoke was really the powder bursting out of the freshly deployed airbag. There was no mistaking the blood and glass covering everything in the wrecked white minivan. Docherty was driving May 20 when he got T-boned in an intersection, two days before the Korn Ferry's Visit Knoxville Open. On June 2, the 31-year-old, who missed his PGA Tour card by two spots at the end of last season, qualified for the U.S. Open. At 6:45 a.m. Thursday, Docherty will tee off at Oakmont. It's no stretch to say he's happy to be here, but Docherty wants more than just a good memory to close out this wild three weeks. 'It's not a miracle,' Docherty said after wrapping up a practice round that hardly looked possible less than a month ago, as he was tangled in the blood and glass. 'I'm very thankful. But it's definitely where I believe I'm supposed to be. Everything works out for a reason. I'm just trying to take advantage.' The pictures tell the story best. One is of the passenger's side of the minivan, sitting in the grass near the intersection, crumpled almost beyond recognition after getting slammed by an SUV that ran a red light. Another is Docherty lying in a hospital bed, lips pierced, eyes barely open, wearing a hospital gown draped over part of his neck collar. 'My car spun around a few times. I felt glass and everything come at me,' Docherty said. 'I opened my eyes and thought I saw smoke. I jumped out of the car as quickly as possible. It ended up being the stuff coming out of the airbag. I walked around a little dazed, and I was covered in blood and glass.' At the hospital, doctors and nurses were able to clean the glass off his body — no major damage there. The scans came back clean — nothing broken, either. Docherty said his shoulder and legs took the brunt of the crash. Constant work with the physical therapist allowed him to set his sites on June 2 at Duke University Golf Club. He shot 72-64 in the 36-hole qualifier to earn one of seven spots available there. The third part of that photo essay is him holding his invitation to play in the U.S. Open this week. 'This is a great test to see where my game is at right now,' he said. 'If you show up thinking 'I don't have a chance here,' then you're done. so, I believe I have a chance to play my best here and see where it puts me.' ___
