Xander Schauffele goes on birdie run at Shadow Creek, leads CJ Cup by three-shots

Firstpost  

Xander Schauffele’s momentum slowed with the pace of play, and he settled an 8-under 64 for a three-shot lead over Tyrrell Hatton. “Upset I didn’t make more birdies, but pleased I didn’t make any bogeys.” He was at 14-under 130 and now has the course record at Shadow Creek, which is hosting the CJ Cup for this year only because the COVID-19 pandemic made travel to South Korea impractical. Defending champion Justin Thomas found some momentum with six birdies, despite missing two easy chances on par 5s, for a 66 and was eight shots behind at the halfway point. “But Xander kind of went off today, so that makes it a little harder.” Thomas kept glancing at video boards trying to figure out what Schauffele was doing, besides making a lot of birdies.
