Stuard still leading waterlogged Zurich Classic
FROM CBS SPORTS.COM
American Brian Stuard completed his second straight bogey-free round to
take a one-shot lead in the waterlogged Zurich Classic at New Orleans.
Stuard played just six holes Saturday, completing his second round
with a 4-under 68 to reach 12 under at TPC Louisiana. Jamie
Landmark and Jhonattan Vegas were tied for second. They finished
the second round Friday.
The 33-year-old
Stuard, winless on the US PGA Tour, continued his steady play with
two birdies Some players were able to begin the third round on
Saturday before thunderstorms swept through the area, but the leaders
haven't teed off.
Top-ranked Day was five strokes behind Stuard after shooting a 68 in the second round.
Rain delays have interrupted two out of three days of the tournament. More rain is forecast for Sunday.
It's just the second time in Stuard's career that he's had the
lead after 36 holes. He said the threat of impending rain won't
affect how he plays when, or if, he's able to get on the course
Sunday.
''I think you've just got to go out and play it one shot at a time and whatever happens, happens,'' Stuard said.
Lovemark and Vegas didn't play at all Saturday, getting some rest
after a long Friday. Lovemark played 27 holes on Friday to jump
into contention with a second-round 66. Vegas completed 30 1/2
holes and finished the second round with a 69.
Stuard, Lovemark and Vegas have a sizable jump on the rest of the
field. Six players, including Charles Howell III, were four
strokes back at 8 under.
Day was among a dozen
players five shots behind Stuard. The Australian said the
stop-and-start nature of the tournament can makes things
difficult, but he's pleased with the way he's played through two rounds.
''You've got to try and stay in the right frame of
mind mentally,'' Day said. ''Try and keep yourself loose. Because
there is a lot of sitting around, a lot of eating, and all that
other stuff. But you've got to try and remind yourself that you
need to stay sharp.''
