Max Greyserman started the day with a share of the three-way lead and followed up his opening 67 with a flawless, 8-under 63 featuring an eagle at the par-5 4th to retain the solo lead at 12-under at the Baycurrent Classic.

“A couple loose swings, but overall had a lot of looks. Did a lot of things well. So I’ve been doing things well this week from the start and so just need to keep doing what I’m doing. Go have some lunch, go practice for a little bit, fine tune a couple things that I want to do a little better tomorrow and just keep doing what I’m doing,” said the American.

“The greens have a lot of slope but the sections where they are, the pins can sometimes get flat, especially on the crowns. So going to maybe practice maybe some straighter 10-, 15-footers that you don’t normally get in a lot of courses. So practice a little bit of that, hit a few drivers I would say and get some rest for tomorrow.

“I feel like there’s a couple greens out here that remind me of maybe Pinehurst No. 2 and maybe a little bit of Sedgefield as well,” he added when asked which courses Yokohama CC could be compared to on Tour. “It’s a Coore & Crenshaw, but the greens are kind of Donald Ross-esque type of greens. So if I had to maybe pick two courses, maybe a little bit of Sedgefield, a little bit of Pinehurst No. 2 on the greens and the surrounds the way they run off.”
