Friday was not based on Palestinian plans because he eventually missed the layoffs. Still, he gained positively and took advantage of the opportunity to learn from Thomas and his other partner, Scottie Scheffler, who won two of the last three Masters.
“These guys are here, especially because of how good they are around the greens, how much knowledge they have, how good they are in perceiving the slopes and reading the Greens,” Palestinian said.
“I’ve played a lot of good shots with the driver and the iron in the past two days, but I think those guys are totally [different] From where I am, the level around the green. ”
