Sullivan is back on Tour this week, having qualified to play in his 3rd Capital Open. The Ashley Plantation Pro hopes three's a charm at Avenel. He hasn't made the cut in his two previous appearances.
Chip:
Sullivan will try to hit those fairways with new sticks he is debuting this week. He recently traded in his Callaways for Cleveland irons.
Chip:
Travis: While Sullivan is no stranger to Tour Events, Blackstone, Virginia native Cameron Yancey is getting used to being called a rookie. In December, the former Virginia Cavalier became the first Uva golfer to gain fully exempt status on the PGA Tour.
Cameron:
Yancey is a Scott Robertson tourney alum, who may have gone to school in Charlottesville, but he has a Hokie connection on his bag in caddie J.J. James.
Cameron:
The 24 year old Yancey has made just three cuts in seven events this season. In Potomac, Maryland, Travis Wells, News 7 Sports.))
