Sebastian Muñoz takes 3-stroke lead at Greenbrier Classic
PGA Tour rookie Sebastian Muñoz has found a comfortable routine at the Greenbrier Classic — go play golf, then watch a movie at night.
After catching “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” following an opening-round 61, Muñoz kept it going Friday, shooting a 3-under-par 67 to improve to 12-under 128 for a three-stroke lead over Ben Martin and Hudson Swafford heading into the weekend on the Old White TPC in White Sulphur Springs, W.Va.
At the St. Jude Classic last month, he was tied for the lead through 36 holes, but played the final two rounds in 11 over and finished tied for 60th.
Davis Love III, seeking to become the oldest winner on the PGA Tour, followed his first-round 63 with a 69.
Phil Mickelson accomplished one thing he never managed with longtime caddie Jim “Bones” Mackay on the bag — he made the cut at the Greenbrier Classic.
Mickelson had five bogeys and three birdies to shoot 72 and make the cut on the number at 1 under.
Katherine Kirk shot a career-best 9-under 63 to take a three-stroke lead in the weather-delayed second round of the inaugural Thornberry Creek LPGA Classic in Oneida, Wis.
