PGA Tour rookie Pierceson Coody made three birdies and three bogeys for an even-par front nine before carding an eagle at the par-5 11 and two more birdies for a 68 to reach 20-under and take a one-shot lead at the ISCO Championship.<\/p>\n

“The front nine, just a few things didn’t go my way,” said the American. “Didn’t quite hit it the way I wanted to, left myself in some tough spots. But every hole feels like out here you can have a chance at birdie with one good shot, so I just tried to stick with that mindset and luckily some good bounces and some good putts on the back nine got me back in it.<\/p>\n

“[I was] obviously frustrated, but the more I kind of dwell on it and let myself fall into that frustration, I don’t think I would have bounced back the way I did. On a scale of 1 to 10 I was around a 3 or 4, but knowing that I still had a lot of golf to get myself back in the tournament.”<\/p>\n

At 196, Coody tops his previous-low 54-hole score of 201 at the 2024 Charles Schwab Challenge where he finished T5. He holds the 54-hole lead\/co-lead for the first time (previous best position: T3\/2024 Charles Schwab Challenge).<\/p>\n
