Canadian Taylor Pendrith takes one-shot lead at Butterfield Bermuda Championship
Canada’s Taylor Pendrith got married two weeks ago and wasn’t sure what to expect out of his game. Once the weather co-operated, it proved to be better than ever Friday in the Butterfield Bermuda Championship.
“Felt a lot easier out there than yesterday,” Pendrith said. “Yesterday was some of the worst weather I’ve ever played in, just almost like surviving out there. Didn’t really matter how you hit it, you just have to hit shots. Today was a completely different story.” Vincent Whaley was two shots behind, followed by Danny Lee and David Skinns, the 39-year-old rookie from England who had another 67.
The cut was at even-par 142, and it included Brian Gay, the defending champion who had travel issues and wasn’t able to play a practice round. How much did the weather help? Camilo Villegas opened with a 77 and followed with a 65 to make the cut on the number.
