Jamie Lovemark is seeking his third top-10 at the RSM Classic in as many starts.

The University of Southern California product carded three rounds in the 60s to tie for sixth last year at Sea Island.  He shot a 65 on Sunday that matched the low round of the day and was in the 60s all four rounds en route to a T9 in 2015.

The talented 29-year-old is still seeking his first PGA Tour win. He’s come close in 2017, finishing T5 recently at the CJ Cup. Earlier in the season, Lovemark tied for third at the Greenbrier Classic. He owns four top-10s and has missed only five cuts in 2017.

Lovemark’s distance (24th off the tee) isn’t a big deal this week, but it can’t hurt, either. He’s also a decent wedge player (25th in approaches from 100-125 yards). Accuracy off the tee (113th) could be an issue, though Lovemark was 26th in strokes gained around-the-green if he needs to get up-and-down like he did in the video above.
