Schenk takes 4-point lead in smoky Barracuda Championship

The Hindu  

Adam Schenk birdied the par-4 18th in smoky conditions from wildfires for an 11-point round and four-point lead in the Barracuda Championship, the only PGA Tour event that uses the modified Stableford scoring system. Schenk, the 29-year-old former Purdue player seeking his first PGA Tour title, had seven birdies and a bogey in the third round to reach 38 points on Tahoe Mountain Club’s Old Greenwood Course. Andrew Putnam, the 2018 winner for his lone PGA Tour title, was tied for second with Erik van Rooyen. The winner will earn a spot in the PGA Championship next year but not the Masters because the event is being played opposite a World Golf Championship — the FedEx St. Jude Invitational in Memphis, Tennessee.
