Hossler leads by stroke seeking first PGA win

The Associated Press

JACKSON, Miss. — Beau Hossler did his part on another day of low scoring at the Sanderson Farms Championship, missing only one green Friday for an 8-under 64 to take a one-shot lead into the week as he chases his first PGA Tour victory.

Hossler started his round with a three-putt bogey from about 30 feet, and felt like he made just about everything after that, including a 30-foot eagle putt on the par-5 fifth hole.

Daniel Berger, out of golf for 18 months with a back injury, had another round of seven birdies and no bogeys for a 65 and was one shot behind.

The group two back included Keith Mitchell (64), Jacob Bridgeman (66) and David Skinns of England, who opened with a course-record 60 and had to rally with three birdies on the back nine just to break par with a 71.

DP World Tour

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland — The Dunhill Links Championship has some serious star power with players and golf leaders alike. But the top of the leaderboard on Friday found names far down the list in the world ranking. Nicolas Colsaerts of Belgium and Cameron John of Australia share the lead.

They are one shot ahead of David Law of Scotland and Darren Fichardt of South Africa. Those four have a combined world ranking of 2,598. None are in the top 400. Jon Rahm is six shots behind after two bogeys on his last three holes. Rory McIlroy finds himself eight shots behind.

Starting at $2.99/week.
