PALM HARBOR, Fla. (AP) - Adam Hadwin started the back nine with five straight birdies and posted a 7-under 64 to build a one-shot lead going into the weekend of the Valspar Championship.
It was another low round for Hadwin - not a 59 like the score the Canadian shot in the California desert this year, but enough to surge past Jim Herman and into the lead on a warm and occasionally blustery Friday afternoon at Innisbrook.
Herman had to settle for an even-par 71.
Hadwin was at 10-under 132.
British Open champion Henrik Stenson struggled at times with the wind and shot 71. He was three shots behind and shared one highlight that had nothing to do with golf. His 2-year-old daughter, Alice, ran out to the second fairway when she saw him.
HERO INDIAN OPEN
NEW DELHI (AP) - Defending champion S.S.P. Chawrasia of India shot a 5-under 67 to take a one-stroke lead in the suspended second round of the Indian Open.
Chawrasia, a five-time Asian Tour winner, had a 5-under 139 total in the event also sanctioned by the European Tour. England’s David Horsey was second after a 74.
Play was stopped because of the threat of lightning for the second straight day. Italy’s Matteo Manassero and England’s Eddie Pepperell were 3 under. Manassero had 11 holes left, and Pepperell had 16 to go.
