Rising star Harry Hall surges to 3-stroke lead at Charles Schwab Challenge

Harry Hall continued his momentum from the first day to maintain the three-shot lead after playing 36 holes in the Charles Schwab Challenge. After shooting a 62 on Thursday, Hall followed it up with a 66 on Day 2 to aggregate at 12-under after two rounds.

Starting from the back nine, the PGA Tour rookie holed two bogeys and six birdies in the second round, four of them came back-to-back on the 17th, 18th, 1st, and 2nd holes.

Harry English posted a bogey-free 65 on Friday at Colonial Golf Club to move to nine under par. He also dug in an eagle on the par-3 8th hole. Emiliano Grillo shot a 65 on Friday to leap four spots up to third place.

Adam Schenk, Robby Shelton, and Byeong Hun An were tied for fourth, five strokes short of Hall. Andrew Novak and World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler were at T7. Scheffler, who lost in a playoff at Charles Schwab Challenge last year, shot another 67 to aggregate at 6-under.

Jordan Spieth, Sam Ryder, and Tommy Fleetwood missed the 1-over cutline at the Charles Schwab Challenge. Spieth, who was suffering from a wrist injury of late, shot two 72s to bow out of the tournament at 4-over.

PGA Championship hero Michael Block played relatively better on Day 2 at Colonial, as he carded a 74, but it wasn't good enough to compensate for the disastrous performance of Thursday.
