Ex-Swinger Larry Mowry Emerges Early PGA Leader
Larry Mowry, a 32-year-old Las Vegas touring pro, shot a 69 opening at the Sam Snead Festival in Roanoke, Va. The Newport, Rhode Island native recalled a tavern wager that propelled him to believe he could beat Snead’s course record, then carded a 64 on the par 72 layout and remains in contention. He has since reassessed his lifestyle after injuries and a desire to balance golf with responsibility, yet his bold start signals a strong bid for PGA glory.
