From down a few hundred bucks. To up nearly a mill and a half. The weekend was healthy for Tom Hoge.
Golf is funny like that. To recap his Players Championship swing:
— On Thursday at TPC Sawgrass, Hoge shot a six-over 78. He double-bogeyed a third of his holes on his second nine. He booked a flight home.
— On Friday, he was better — four-under 68 — but he was around the cutline.
