SAN ANTONIO (AP) – Paul Goydos remembered hitting one mediocre shot Friday in the Texas Open, but not any bad ones.
Goydos followed his opening 7-under 63 with a 65 to reach 12 under 128 on the La Cantera Golf Club course – three strokes ahead of three-time champion Justin Leonard and four others. It’s the biggest lead Goydos has ever had on the PGA Tour.
“It’s just kind of like being the pace car, for lack of a better word,” the 44-year-old Goydos said. “We’re going to go out and play two more rounds of golf, but the tournament’s going to be in front of me tomorrow, which is kind of cool.”
Leonard, tied with Goydos after the first round, shot a 68 to join Scott Sterling (63), John Mallinger (64), Mathias Gronberg (65) and Ted Purdy (67) at 9 under.
