When you go to a school like the University of Georgia, college football becomes part of who you are.
Just ask Keith Mitchell.
Mitchell, 32, went to school in Athens and is a huge Bulldog fan, as are fellow PGA Tour players Kevin Kisner, Harris English and Brian Harman.
After a 67 on Thursday and 64 on Friday, Michell was 5 under during the third round on Saturday and tied for the lead through 15 holes at the Sanderson Farms Championship in Jackson, Mississippi.
The one thing going against him, however, was the fact that Georgia was taking on Auburn during his round.
On one of The Country Club of Jackson’s tee boxes, Mitchell asked a fan if he was looking at college football scores. After the fan said yes, Mitchell immediately asked for an update on the Georgia game (plus a check-in with Alabama).
