Stallings fires 60, leads on PGA Tour

-

Scott Stallings birdied the final hole for an 11-under 60 and a one-stroke lead Saturday in the PGA Tour’s Barbasol Championsh­ip.

Stallings’ 12-foot putt on the par-4 18th caught the right edge and dropped in for the second 60 in two days at Grand National’s rain-softened course in Opelika, Ala.

Stallings birdied the final three holes. He had an eagle, 10 birdies and a bogey to tie the course record set last year by Jhonattan Vegas and matched by Chad Collins on Friday. Grayson Murray was second after his second straight 64. Collins followed his 60 with a 69 to drop into a tie for third with Tag Ridings (63) at 17 under.

Jim Furyk, the only player with two sub-60 PGA Tour rounds, had his second straight 68 to get to 8 under.

LPGA Tour: Nelly Korda birdied the final two holes for a 5-under 66 and a twostroke lead in the Marathon Classic at Sylvania, Ohio. The 18-year-old Korda, the sister of LPGA winner Jessica Korda and daughter of tennis major champion Petr Korda, had a 15-under 198 total at Highland Meadows. She opened with a 68 and had a 64 on Friday, the best score in the second round. In-Kyung Kim was second after a 68.

USGA: Noah Goodwin rallied to beat Matthew Wolff 1 up in 100-degree heat at Andover, Kan., in the U.S. Junior Amateur final to become the third player to win a year after losing the title match. The 17-year-old Goodwin, from Corinth, Texas, was four holes down with eight to play.
