CHAMP OPENS FOURSTROKE LEAD IN ROUND 2

Cameron Champ shot an 8-under 64 on Saturday to open a four-stroke lead in the Sanderson Farms Championship. Champ has held at least a share of the lead all three days at Country Club of Jackson, opening with a 65 and shooting a 70 on Friday. Averaging a field-best 306.7 yards off the tee, the 23-year-old PGA Tour rookie has hit 44 of 54 greens in regulation. On Saturday, he hit 15 of 18 and had just 25 putts. “Obviously, today went great,” Champ said. “I executed all the shots that I wanted to ... and just kept up with my game plan. Took advantage of the par 5s, made the putts when I needed to. I was just able to give myself a lot of chances.” Corey Conners was second, matching Champ with a 64 to get to 13 under. “I just tried to keep the pedal down,” Conners said. “I was hitting the ball really well, so I just tried to stay aggressive. ”
