Jacksonville Jaguars fans can look at it this way: Maybe quarterback Trevor Lawrence has been working so hard mastering coach Liam Coen’s system that he’s neglected his golf game.
Lawrence won’t be quitting his day job any time soon, based on an awful start in the first round of the American Century Championship on July 11 at the Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course in Stateline, Nev. Lawrence posted a minus-18 points under the Modified Stableford format and finished 86th out of 90 players.
Lawrence shot 98 (51-47) but the gross score doesn’t matter under the format, which calls for players to pick up if they’re going to make worse than a double bogey.
Lawrence finished ahead of sports TV and radio personality Rich Eisen and New Orleans safety Justin Reid (minus-19 points), NBC sports personality Kathryn Tappen (minus-20) and NBC Today Show meteorologist Dylan Dreyer (minus-22).

Lawrence then made two more doubles and two more bogeys to close out the front nine with a 15-over 51 and minus-12 points.
Lawrence seemed to bounce back a bit when he made three bogeys in a row at Nos. 9, 10 and 11. But he then doubled Nos. 12 and 13.
A bogey at No. 14 was then followed by his first par of the day at No. 15, which was the first hole where Lawrence received positive points (1). Lawrence then doubled No. 16, parred No. 17 and finished with his final double.
