Bryce Emory put together a bogey\u002Dfree 6\u002Dunder 65 Friday to jump to the top of the leaderboard at 13\u002Dunder at the Commissionaires Ottawa Open
While it was wet, Emory put together a bogey-free 6-under 65 Friday to jump to the top of the leaderboard at 13-under in Day 2 of the Commissionaires Ottawa Open. He’s two shots ahead of Devon Bling and three ahead of Thomas Longbella and Derek Oland.In the steady drizzle, the 33-year-old Emory, who is 31st in the Fortinet Cup standings, got his second round off to a much better start than how he opened the tournament. Thursday, he bogeyed his first hole.
“There is a lot of work to be done,” he said. “You have to make birdies out here on this tour. I have to stay aggressive, give myself some looks and hopefully have some putts drop. We’ll see where it goes.”Bling followed his 65 with a 66 to take over second place. “I definitely think it was more challenging today,” he said. “There was more spin today, so the numbers you had into the greens — the iron shots — you could fly a little closer to the flag. With the rain going on and off all day, I think it was pretty difficult to judge the number when it was coming into the wind or cross-wind.”
The cut came at 2-under, with 71 players advancing to the weekend. Ottawa Senators star Claude Giroux shot an 80 Friday, for a two-round total of 159, 17-over par. Former PGA player Brad Fritsch shot 1-under on the day to finish at even-par for the tournament. In his quest to win a third consecutive tournament, Davis Lamb hit a bit of a speed bump Friday, shooting an even-par 71 to follow his opening 66. At 5-under overall, he’s tied for 22nd heading to the weekend.
