Hovland and Gerard share lead at Tour Championship
LOS ANGELES: Norway’s Viktor Hovland and American Ryan Gerard led a crowded field chasing the PGA Tour Championship’s $10 million top prize Friday at the final event of the FedEx Cup playoffs.
Norway's Viktor Hovland and American Ryan Gerard led the field chasing the $10 million top prize at the PGA Tour Championship on Friday at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, Georgia. Gerard made six birdies in his round, including a notable 78-foot putt, and finished with a five-under-par 65 to share the overnight lead with Hovland.
The pair finished on 10-under, a stroke ahead of Collin Morikawa and Chris Gotterup. Meanwhile, world number one Scottie Scheffler and third-ranked Cameron Young finished a shot back, after Young shot a day's best round of 62. Hovland expressed frustration over his inability to replicate the consistency that led him to win the 2023 Tour Championship, while Scheffler described the day's winds as "bad gusts."
Rory McIlroy and six-time Major winner struggled with their rounds, with McIlroy suffering a double bogey and McIlroy managing two late birdies for a round of 69.
