Si Woo Kim opens 4-stroke lead in Wyndham Championship

Glover later claimed 59 would not have been all that satisfying given his fellow American Furyk, who followed up his first-round 66 with a 64, had set the bar too high by becoming the first man to make 58 on the PGA Tour, at the Travelers Championship earlier this month.

After an aggressive drive ended in a “tough lie” in the left rough, Kim’s approach from 112 yards ended 50 feet beyond the pin and his hopes of holing the birdie putt appeared slim.

2007 champion Brandt Snedeker (65) and Hideki Matsuyama (68) are at 11 under par. “After this week, if I (continue to) play good (then) I celebrate”.

Cabrera Bello, who finished tied for fifth at the Olympic Games in Rio and shared the lead at Wyndham after the opening round, rocketed back into contention via a five-under-par 65.

“I was just trying.It was close there”, he said of the final putt, adding he had reaped the rewards for hours of putting practice leading into the event.

Elsewhere, Ernie Els (71) headlined the players to have missed the cut at one over.

Last year’s victor Davis Love III is not defending his crown but Na, Derek Fathauer, Peter Malnati, Brandt Snedeker, Shawn Stefani and Patrick Reed, who holed a 38-foot birdie putt on the par-four 17th, all represent the United States in the fledgling top 10.

And Furyk can not be discounted, despite bogeying the final two holes. McDowell birdied the final four holes for a 64.

Matsuyama’s 64 saw him move into contention, along with 17-time Tour victor Furyk, who also went six under for the day. “Obviously, as a bit of a warmup for next week going into the playoffs with Atlanta being my big goal this season and partly to try put myself back on the Ryder Cup radar”.

Patrick Reed shot a six-under 64 to move to nine under for the tournament, while Rickie Fowler is tied for 26th at eight under.

The former U.S. Open champ caught fire Friday afternoon at Sedgefield Country Club, playing the first 16 holes of the par-70 layout in 10 under to give himself a chance at the rarified air of a sub-60 score.

“I will just try to rest today and have some dinner”. “I need to get that better and just kind of figure out a way to tighten it up for all 18, not just nine”.
