Herbert tumbles after epic first round as fellow Aussie roars up leaderboard
Sahith Theegala fired an eight-under-par 64 to grab a share of the lead at the halfway stage of the PGA Tour’s Fortinet Championship in Napa on Friday.
In perfect conditions at the Silverado Resort’s north course, Theegala relied on a red-hot putter and some superb approach play to march up the leaderboard. He made amends just before the turn, when he drilled a 47-yard approach shot to four feet for a simple tap-in birdie. Theegala will go into the third round aiming to break clear of co-leader Kim, who shot six birdies and a bogey en route to his 67.With Kelly Kraft three off the pace on nine under after shooting a 69, a cluster of five players are four off the lead on eight under.
