Four share Corales lead

-

Tyler McCumber was the only player to reach 8-under par Thursday in the Caribbean breeze until he dropped a shot on his 17th hole and fell into a four-way for the lead in the Corales Puntacana Resort and Club Championsh­ip in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. Sepp Straka was the only one at 7-under 65 who kept a clean card. He was joined by

Hudson Swafford, who made two tough par saves late in his round, and Scott Harrington, who made bogey on the second-easiest hole. They were one shot clear of Xinjun Zhang and Joseph Bramlett.

Straka’s round was highlighte­d by a 5-wood to 5 feet for eagle on the par-5 fourth hole early in his round. He also was the only player at 65 who played in the morning before a stiff ocean breeze kicked up late in the afternoon. Sebastian Cappelen

(Arkansas Razorbacks) is at 3-under 69 while David Lingmerth (Razorbacks) is at 2-under 70.
