Example Sentences
- "clubhouse leader; in the clubhouse"
- "In tough conditions and battling a strong wind while heading for the clubhouse, McVeigh dropped just one shot at the long par four 17th and with a par five at the 18th, Danielle sealed victory by one shot as a birdie for Turland was not enough to force a playoff with the Irish star."
- "On Sunday, the two-time Wanamaker winner fired a final-round 65, taking five-under par into the clubhouse. Because Thomas tee’d off at 10:55 a.m., however, that meant he had a lot of time to kill, and with winds forecasted to pick up in the afternoon, he had to stay sharp. [...] Will this be the year a long clubhouse wait finally pays off for Thomas? We’ll have to wait and see, but given the unlikely fashion with which Thomas won his last PGA Championship, storming back from seven strokes down to defeat Will Zalatoris in a playoff at Southern Hills, we wouldn’t rule anything out."
