James Hahn shoots bogey-free 65 to take Phoenix Open lead

Hahn had a 10-under 132 total on the Stadium Course to enter the weekend a stroke ahead of Rickie Fowler and Danny Lee.

India’s Anirban Lahiri carded a seven-birdie 66 and American Bryce Molder also got to five under with two holes to complete before play was suspended for the day in fading light with 33 players still on the course.

The bobcat sauntered between the first and second holes Friday afternoon, seemingly comfortable not far from the fans who packed the grounds on TPC Scottsdale’s Stadium Course.

An estimated crowd of 160,415 attended the tournament Friday, breaking the second-round record of 123,674 set in 2014. He won his first PGA Tour title previous year in a playoff at Riviera.

The top-ranked player in the field at No. 4, Fowler bogeyed the par-3 16th after drawing an awkward lie in the right bunker. He made four birdies in a five-hole stretch despite 20-mph winds and temperatures in the 50s at the start of the PGA Tour Champions event at Boca Raton, Fla. We came here because we want to play golf and shoot good scores.

His six birdies didn’t include the famously festive 16th on Friday – so after missing the green at the par-three he punished himself with 10 pushups instead.

“I just used the wrong words, just like my wife says”.

Fowler, who fired a three-under-par 68, dropped out of the lead on Friday as he only made one birdie on the front nine before shifting his game to the next level on the back nine, where he made three birdies and a bogey, which occurred when he missed a three-foot par putt. The greens being so firm, you’re kind of forced to hit driver. Cabrello-Bello shot his second 67 to reach 10-under 134 at the halfway stage of the tournament. This was Hamilton’s fourth start in the 50-and-older competition.

Geoff Ogilvy and Matt Jones are the best-placed Australians at one under while Aaron Baddeley had a shocking round of six-over 77 starting the day three shots off the lead.

They were treated to not one but two holes-in-one.

South Korea’s Jang Ha-Na, the 18-hole leader, is tied for the top spot with Ko.
