Uihlein, Rumford share Perth lead
Print Edition
OVERNIGHT leader Peter Uihlein of the United States shot a 4-under 68 and was tied for the second-round lead with Brett Rumford at the Perth International, with former British Open champion Louis Oosthuizen a stroke behind yesterday.
Uihlein, who birdied his final two holes after starting on the back nine, and Rumford, who carded 65, had 36-hole totals of 11-under 133 at Lake Karrinyup Country Club.
Oosthuizen, the 2010 British Open champion playing for the first time in Australia, had a 64 for the low round of the day after an opening 70. He was on track to join Rumford and Uihlein at the top of the leaderboard, but missed a short birdie putt on the final hole.
“I just over-read it,” Oosthuizen said. “It was the first real putt I had in the shadows today. I took my glasses off, and I misread it a little bit. It’s not going to bother me though.”
European Ryder Cup player Victor Dubuisson of France posted a 1-under 71 but was still 4 over overall and missed the cut in the European Tour and Australasian PGA event.
In Florida, Sergio Garcia made an eagle, avoided an alligator and wound up in a share of the lead on Thursday in the Honda Classic. Garcia holed out with an 8-iron from 142 yards into the wind on the second hole for an eagle, and he narrowly missed an eagle putt on the 18th hole at PGA National. The Spaniard shot 5-under 65 and shared the lead with Michael Thompson, the 2013 Honda Classic winner, who also birdied the last hole.
They were one shot ahead of Rickie Fowler and William McGirt. The biggest excitement for Garcia was on the par-4 sixth hole, where he made his lone bogey. His tee shot found the water left of the fairway, shallow enough for him to roll up his pants and try to play it out to the fairway. That part was easy. He looked over his shoulder because of an alligator on the island, making sure it wasn’t going anywhere soon.
