Shriners Hospitals for Children Open: Making his fifth career start (second as a member) on the PGA TOUR, the 54-hole leader finished T2 at the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open, snapping a streak of four consecutive 54-hole leaders/co-leaders winning the Las Vegas event. Play was suspended due to darkness Friday, leaving him with the lead at 11-under through 15 holes. Returned Saturday with a par-bogey-par finish (his only bogey of the round) to sit in a four-way tie for the lead before taking a one-stroke lead heading into the final round.

-
