After a first-round score of par 72, Beem shot up to the top of the leaderboard on day 2 with an impressive 6-under 66.įollowing a third-round 72, Beem was three shots behind leader Justin Leonard and two shots clear of a lurking Tiger Woods heading into the final round.

In 1998, that changed when Beem watched the members of El Paso Country Club, where Beem worked as an assistant pro, celebrate the victory of member J.P. But success didn’t come early on, and before long Beem found himself selling cell phones and car stereos in Seattle. Spotify: /MjUcepgTPU- No Laying Up March 23, 2020 Plus, Anthony Kim!
