"I'm now working with swing coach EJ Pfeister out of Oklahoma City, and he has me hitting it really good. It's just a matter of making putts."
Morris will use this tournament as a warm-up for the PGA Qualifying School in Florence, SC.

Casey Clendenen, one of the pre-tournament favorites and 11th on the Current Money List, hopes to end the tour on a positive note before heading to Q-School.
"You gotta stay patient out here and hit the ball in the right spot," Clendenen said.
