LAS VEGAS (AP) — Defending champion Martin Laird shot a bogey-free 8-under 63 — eagling the short par-4 15th and closing with three pars — to take a one-stroke lead over Jonathan Byrd on Saturday in the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospital for Children Open.
Laird made an 8-foot putt on the 310-yard 15th after driving the green. The Scot had a 19-under 194 total at TPC Summerlin in the fourth of five Fall Series events. He shot a 62 on Friday after opening with a 69.
Byrd shot a 66. Australia’s Cameron Percy had a career-best 62, making eight birdies, an eagle and a bogey, to join Webb Simpson (64) at 17 under.
