Tanigawa, Barron tied at St. Louis

Ken Tanigawa had two front-nine eagles in a 6under 65 for a share of the second-round lead with Doug Barron in the PGA Tour Champions’ inaugural Ascension Charity Classic at St. Louis.

Tanigawa eagled the par-5 second and eighth holes in a front-nine 30 on Norwood Hills’ West Course, the layout where Ben Hogan won the 1948 PGA Championship for his second major title.

Wiesberger nears Ryder Cup spot: Francesco Laporta shot 3under 69 to take a onestroke lead after three rounds of the BMW PGA Championship as Bernd Wiesberger moved closer to sealing a place in Europe’s Ryder Cup team at Virginia Water, England.
