Maxwell Moldovan spent the days leading up to the Jones Cup eyeing the weather in Sea Island, Georgia. Moldovan, a 19-year-old Ohio State sophomore, got excited by forecasted weekend conditions that probably made much of the rest of the field cringe. There’s a reason that, in three trips to the Jones Cup, Moldovan has always been in the mix.
For Saturday’s second round, a south wind switched directions and blew twice as hard, and the temperature dropped roughly 20 degrees. Moldovan’s game holds up well in those kind of conditions.
“We’re not strangers to wind at all, especially the cooler temperatures,” said Moldovan, an Ohio native.
