Straka Surges to 4-Shot Lead at American Express

Brad Straka has taken the lead by storm, pulling ahead with an impressive 4-shot advantage after the second round of the American Express. The Czech golfer dazzled on the Stadium Course, delivering a flawless bogey-free 64 on Friday. With a remarkable 36-hole total of 130 (-12), Straka is set for an exhilarating finish.

His rise to the top was powered by exceptional putting and masterful play on the par 5s. He confidently drained birdie putts on holes 8, 11, and 16 while navigating the tricky par 3s with finesse. Even in gusty winds, Straka showcased his poise and precision throughout both rounds.

Hot on his heels are talented contenders like Max Homa and Akshay Bhatia, both sitting at an impressive 8-under. Yet, Straka’s outstanding performance has firmly established him as the frontrunner as we head into an exciting weekend!
