Chris Kirk fires 8-under 62, one shot back of leader Justin Suh at Honda Classic
There have been about 7,200 rounds played at the Honda Classic since it moved to PGA National 17 years ago.Kirk shot an 8-under 62 in the second round, moving him to 9 under for the week and one shot behind Justin Suh at the tournament’s midway point. Kirk had an eagle and six birdies, hitting 16 greens and taking advantage of no wind blowing in the morning – very rare for PGA National.
Suh had four consecutive birdies on holes 8 through 11, rolling in putts from 5, 15, 25 and 30 feet in that span, to post a 36-hole total of 10-under 130. There was no shortage of players taking dead aim. Ryan Gerard and Ben Taylor were tied for third at 8 under. Ben Martin , Eric Cole and Brice Garnett were all another shot back.
Gerard was a Monday qualifier. This is only his second PGA Tour event as a pro, and his first made cut.
