Taylor Pendrith stayed bogey-free and fired ten birdies on Thurday at the Shriners Children’s Open to close with a 61 and take a three-shot lead as play was suspended for the night.
The Canadian hit 13 of 14 fairways, 17 of 18 greens in regulation and required 26 putts en route to tie his career-best round on Tour (61/R2/2021 Butterfield Bermuda Championship).
“I played really nice today. Got off to a good start. Was able to get that groove with my driver and found a lot of fairways,” said Pendrith.
“From there, I had a lot of good numbers today. Feel like we had the same number a few times and I was able to hit some close wedges. Made a lot of putts inside ten feet. Everything was on and it was nice to — would’ve liked to birdie the last or make eagle, but I’m still very, very pleased.”
Ten players are currently tied in second place at 7-under. American Joseph Bramlett carded his low round of the season (72 rounds) and recorded his 19th bogey-free round on the PGA Tour. Englishman Harry Hall notched his 13th consecutive under-par round at TPC Summerlin.
American Joel Dahmen (+5/131) received a four-stroke penalty when it was discovered on the fourth tee that he had more than 14 clubs in his bag.
Play was suspended due to darkness at 6:13 p.m. PT with nine players yet to finish. The first round is scheduled to resume at 8:10 a.m.
The second round is scheduled to begin on time at 6:55 a.m.
