Clark, Hossler hang on
WASHINGTON (AFP) — Americans Wyndham Clark and Beau Hossler, each seeking a first PGA title, combined for a 10-under par 62 for a one-stroke lead after Saturday’s third round of the Zurich Classic. The US duo thrived in the four-ball (best ball) format at the tour’s only pairs event to stand on 26-under 190 after 54 holes at TPC of Louisiana at Avondale. Clark sank a birdie putt from just inside eight feet at the par-5 18th to lift himself and Hossler ahead of South Korea’s Im Sung-jae and American Keith Mitchell, who also fired a 62 in round three. “We’re looking forward to the challenge,” Hossler said of the final round. “It’s going to be a cool environment and a unique experience frankly to have a chance to win a golf tournament with a partner.” Sharing third on 193 were US duos Nick Hardy and Davis Riley and Matthew NeSmith and Taylor Moore plus Sweden’s Vincent Norman and Austrian Matthias Schwab. Sunday’s final round will be played in a foursomes (four-ball) format. Hossler and Clark, who shot 61 in best ball on Thursday, have known each other since they were 10 but this is their first time paired together. “Sometimes when you’re alone, it feels like you’re out on an island. When the momentum gets going bad, when you’re on your own, sometimes it’s tough to turn that,” Clark said. ‘We’re looking forward to the challenge.’ “With a teammate, you can kind of feed off each other and really not allow that momentum to get going in the wrong direction. I hope tomorrow we’re light and loose like we’ve been all three days.” Clark and Hossler each contributed five birdies for the duo, with Hossler salvaging pars for the pair on the fifth and par-3 14th. Im birdied six of the first eight holes to lift his duo into the hunt. Mitchell contributed a birdie at the par-5 11th and Im birdied 13 and 16 to keep the pair fighting for the lead to the finish. “He was honestly incredible,” Mitchell said of Im. “The front nine was some of the best golf I’ve ever seen played ever.” “I could only help him on two holes... but it just didn’t matter. He was playing so good. I was high fiving him and watching him roll. All in all, 10-under par, Sung-jae probably could have shot that on his own.” Reigning Olympic champion Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay, the defending champions, shot 66 to share 10th on 196. Cantlay and Schauffele, ranked fourth and fifth in the world respectively, set a foursomes event record with a 63 on Friday. American Charley Hoffman aced the 210-yard par-3 ninth hole with a 23-degree hybrid for his third career PGA hole-in-one while Denmark’s Nicolai Hojgaard lipped out with his tee shot on the par-4 16th.

Cantlay-Schauffele set records but Clark-Hossler keep PGA lead
Reigning Olympic champion Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay set records on Friday but the US duo of Wyndham Clark and Beau Hossler held the lead at the PGA Zurich Classic. Defending champions Cantlay and Schauffele, ranked fourth and fifth in the world respectively, combined to shoot a tournament-record foursomes round of nine-under-par 63 in the second round of the only PGA pairs event. "Xander putted great and hit a lot of really nice wedge shots and pitches," Cantlay said. "Left me three feet and in a couple of times and made a bunch of mid-range 15-20 footers, which is exactly what you need to do to shoot nine-under par." Clark and Hossler, who opened with a 61 in four-ball (best ball) to share the 18-hole lead, added a 67 to top the leaderboard at 16-under 128, one stroke ahead of compatriots Doc Redman and Sam Ryder and South Korean Im Sung-jae and American Keith Mitchell at TPC of Louisiana in Avondale. Americans Schauffele and Cantlay were in a fourth-place pack of five duos on 130 as play finished just before dark after a storm delay of just over 2 1/2 hours. Schauffele and Cantlay, who won two matches together at last year's Presidents Cup and the 2021 Ryder Cup, combined for seven birdies and an eagle. That broke the old 18-hole pairs foursomes record of 65 set by Spain's Jon Rahm -- the top-ranked Masters winner who is off ahead of next week's PGA Mexico Open title defense -- and American Ryan Palmer in 2019 and matched last year by Australians Jason Day and Jason Scrivener and South Africans Branden Grace and Garrick Higgo. "Xander is really good, and I can play well," Cantlay said. "It helps that we're friends, but when you get two world-class players together and we both have a day where we're on like today, we can post a low one." Cantlay and Schauffele, who won last year with a 72-hole record 29-under 259 total, started on the 10th hole Friday with back-to-back birdies. They followed with birdies at 13 and 16 and eagled the par-5 18th to set a nine-hole tournament foursomes record with a 30 -- a mark later matched by Americans Nick Hardy and Davis Riley. "Pat sent a drive right down the center, left me 256 yards and hit a hybrid up on the green," Schauffele said. "He didn't need any help reading the putt. He just knocked it right in." They also birdied the first and second holes and added another at the fifth. Clark and Hossler, also back-nine starters, birdied the par-5 11th and par-4 13th, then the par-5 second and par-4 fourth. They birdied the par-5 seventh after the delay. The post Cantlay-Schauffele set records but Clark-Hossler keep PGA lead appeared first on Daily Tribune......»»
