-Billy Condon
The third and final day of the Met Open championship has begun at Ridgewood Country Club. On a much cooler day than the previous two, but with the sun starting to shine, the players are anxious to put their skills to the test for 18 more holes. The course is looking to play a little softer than yesterday but the setup will challenge the field of 62. On the outside, players look cool and collected, but you can be sure that butterflies will be stirring once they step onto the first tee.
Speaking with 17-year-old amateur Sam Bernstein, who is one shot behind leader Andrew Giuliani, Bernstein confirmed with me that he had his Thursday outfit planned well in advance. "Tiger wears red, Phil wears black, Sam wears orange," the eager teenager boasted. But don't be fooled, it's not a rookie move to focus on clothing, well-garbed Anthony Casalino puts preparation into his duds just as much as anyone else, as does Adam Fuchs. Catching up with Fuchs on the putting green, he remarked "this outfit has been planned out for the last two weeks, black pants and black shoes are my go-to on the final day." Fuchs is evidently a firm believe in the "look good play good" mentality.
