Hadwin, Armour share lead

Adam Hadwin missed the weekend cuts in his last three tournaments, continuing a disappointing stretch as he dropped to 120th in the FedEx Cup standings.

The 33-year-old Canadian has put himself in position to get back in contention for the playoffs with a strong run at the 3M Open in Blaine, Minn.

Hadwin shot a six-under 65 on Friday for a share of the lead with Ryan Armour at 10-under 132. Armour shot 65.

“I drove it really well today,” Hadwin said. “Wasn’t in any trouble, hit a lot of good quality iron shots. Again, fat sides of the hole, I gave myself opportunities. My speed control’s been really good. It’s been as stress-free a 65 as you’re going to have.”

Bo Hoag (66), Chez Reavie (67), Jhonatton Vegas (69) and Roger Sloan (69) were a shot back.

Second-ranked Dustin Johnson bogeyed the 18th hole after putting his tee shot in the water and missed the cut.

Champions

Darren Clarke shot a three-under 67 after posting an opening 65 at Sunningdale and holds a one-shot lead after 36 holes. Clarke won the British Open in 2011 at Royal St. George’s and could become just the fourth player to win both tournaments.

Jerry Kelly (66) was a stroke back with defending champion Bernhard Langer (67).

LPGA

South Korean golfer Jeongeun Lee6 tied the men’s and women’s major record for the lowest round when she carded a 10-underpar 61 at the Evian Championship in Evian-les-Bains, France.

Her 36-hole score of 127 is also the lowest total in men’s or women’s major history, beating the 128 by Brooks Koepka at the 2019 U.S. PGA Championship. Lee6 had the lead at 15 under after her 10 birdies in the second round.
