PALM HARBOR, Fla.
— Stewart Cink made a great escape from the pine straw for an unlikely birdie and had a 4-under 67 that gave him a five-way share of the lead Friday in the Valspar Championship and a chance to entertain thoughts of winning for the second straight tournament.
He was tied at 6-under 136 with Kevin Streelman , tour rookie Chandler Phillips , Brendon Todd and Mackenzie Hughes of Hamilton, Ont. “I think we got very lucky with the weather,” Thomas said. “I know those guys had a lot of wind this morning, we had some this afternoon, it just was very gusty and it made that back nine very challenging.”
Adam Svensson of Surrey, B.C., is tied for 15th at 4 under, Adam Hadwin of Abbotsford, B.C., is tied for 21st at 3 under, Roger Sloan of Calgary is tied for 40th at 1 under, and Nick Taylor of Abbotsford is tied for 57th at even par None of the players who share the lead are in the Masters — a win would take care of that — and Todd is best positioned to at least try to get into the top 50 after next week to earn his way back to Augusta National.
