Mackenzie Hughes, Cristobal Del Solar share Myrtle Beach lead
MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (AP) --- Mackenzie Hughes of Canada shot a 2-under 69 in
windy conditions Friday for a share of the second-round lead with Cristobal Del
Solar of Chile in the Myrtle Beach Classic.
A stroke ahead after an opening 63, Hughes had four birdies and two bogeys in
his afternoon round at the Dunes Golf and Beach Club.
"I'm in a good spot going into the weekend." Hughes said. "There's a bunch of
guys there with a chance. Nothing changes tomorrow. Just keep doing my thing
and see where it puts me."
Del Solar rebounded from a bogey on the par-4 eighth with a closing birdie on
the par-3 ninth. He shot a 67 in the afternoon to join Hughes at 10-under 132.
"I've been putting in the work, playing good golf, feeling more comfortable,"
Del Solar said. "Happy to be where I am."
The winner of the PGA Tour event --- held opposite a signature event at the
Truist Championship this week --- gets a spot in the PGA Championship if not
already eligible. That's not the case for Hughes, the two-time tour winner who
already is in the field next week at Quail Hollow.
Nick Watney, the 44-year-old player who hasn't won in 13 years, was a stroke
back after a 67. Danny Walker (67) also was a shot back along with Harry Higgs
(66), Will Chandler (69) and Davis Shore (66). -__
