Ben James put on a show in the Dominican Republic on Friday, shooting 6-under 66 and climbing up the leaderboard at the Corales Puntacana Championship.
But it wasn’t enough to carry the 36-hole lead. That honor went to Todd Clements who birdied four of his last six holes to card a matching 66 and take a two-shot lead over James and two others entering Saturday’s third round. The 29-year-old Clements is one of 50 European tour players in the field for the co-sanctioned event played opposite the Open Championship.
Golf Channel’s coverage of Moving Day in the Caribbean starts at noon ET.
