CHESSON HADLEY

Dustin Johnson doesn't feel much urgency about anything.

(Jessica Gallahger/The Dispatch – The Rock Island Argus via AP) (Jessica Gallagher)SILVIS, Ill. — (AP) — Sebastian Munoz never knows when the switch will come on and the putts start to fall, but he recognized it happening Thursday in the John Deere Classic. Munoz was motoring along when he closed with five straight birdies at the TPC Deere Run for an 8-under 63, turning a solid day into a share of the lead with Chesson Hadley. “It's funny because when I make a lot of birdies, I usually play a little more safe and pick my spots. That will leave the three-time John Deere champion some work to do Friday afternoon to make the cut. “I'm not used to getting up at 5 in the morning anymore to play,” Stricker said.

Palmetto Championship Golf Tain Lee puts his sunglasses on before he tees off on the first hole during the third round of the Palmetto Championship golf tournament in Ridgeland, S.C., Saturday, June 12, 2021. Hadley, English, Johnson and Lee Tain were all on the 18th hole when the horn sounded to stop play because of lightning. Hadley was holding a halfway lead for the first time in PGA Tour career. 1 Johnson, Hadley seemed poised to fall — especially after his opening drive went left of the fairway and led to bogey. So Hadley went out and shot 11-under 131 his first two rounds — his best start to a PGA Tour event since 2016 and his first-ever 36-hole lead on tour.

Chesson Hadley moved a step closer to his first PGA Tour victory in seven years, opening a four-stroke lead over Harris English at Palmetto Championship at Congaree before the third round was halted severe storms and lightning with one hole remaining Saturday.

The top-ranked Johnson, who opened his afternoon round five shots behind early starter Hadley, was tied for the lead through 17 holes. “I don’t know, I just have a harder time focusing in regular PGA Tour events than I do majors,” he said. “Majors, I know locked in from the moment I hit the first tee shot.”Lee had to Monday qualify into all three of his PGA Tour starts. First-round leader Wes Roach followed his opening 64 with a 77 to fall 10 shots behind Hadley.

Chesson Hadley is off to his best start on the PGA Tour since 2016, shooting a 5-under 66 on Friday for a two-stroke lead over Dustin Johnson in the Palmetto Championship at Congaree.

Dustin Johnson got off to a fast start Thursday at Congaree in his home-state Palmetto Championship, shooting a 6-under 65 that left him a shot behind leader Wes Roach.

LAS VEGAS – Bryson DeChambeau put on another power display Thursday and it worked just as well as when he won the U.S. Open. “I was not happy it didn't go in, but I'll take a 62,” said DeChambeau, who won this tournament two years ago. It was the perfect recipe for Las Vegas, with the warm desert air and barely a breath of wind. This is the only tournament DeChambeau plans to play ahead of the Masters on Nov. 12-15, which means skipping a pair of big-purse, no-cut fields in Las Vegas and California the next two weeks. DeChambeau played alongside two other big hitters, U.S. Open runner-up Matthew Wolff and Cameron Champ, who hits it as far as DeChambeau without looking as though he's trying as hard.
