Mack Leads in Portland After ‘Flawless’ 1st Round
Will Zalatoris brings a two-stroke lead into the second round of the Barbasol Championship after carding an eight-under 62 on Thursday.
Zalatoris birdied each of the four par-5s at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail and also picked up shots on Nos. 2, 6, 8 and 9. He missed just one fairway and hit 17 of 18 greens in regulation.
“I drove it well today,” Zalatoris said. “I hit a lot of fairways, which is key out here. And I made some putts. I made a couple bombs early, which kind of got the round going.”
Mackenzie Hughes is alone in second place after a six-under 64. Hughes made four birdies and an eagle on the front nine and added two more birdies on the back.
Harris English, Cameron Davis and Kevin Kisner are tied for third place at five-under 65.
Defending champion Sepp Straka is tied for 34th place after a two-under 68.
