Doug Ghim and JT Poston lead in Vegas as Seamus Power misses cut
Doug Ghim and JT Poston shared the lead at the Shriners Children's Open in Las Vegas when play was halted due to darkness Saturday evening.
Seamus Power failed to make the cut after a second round 73 left him on one under, two shots outside the three-under-par cutline.
The west Waterford golfer will be left ruing a triple-bogey seven on the 15th hole, which effectively ended his weekend.
Power was two under for his round at the turn after three birdies and a bogey, but dropped shots at 12 and 17, plus the disastrous 15th put paid to his hopes.
The third round will conclude Sunday morning ahead of the fourth round.
"Just glad that we're going to be able to finish the tournament," Ghim said. "I'm sure everybody would've loved to have finished today. At the same time, it's not our first rodeo."
Ghim made a big move on Saturday, birdieing his final four holes at TPC Summerlin while going seven under par through 16 holes. That left him at 15 under par overall. Poston is two under through 13 holes to match Ghim at 15 under.
Kurt Kitayama and Gary Woodland each completed rounds of six-under 65 on Saturday, leaving them at 14 under. Also at 14 under are Harris English and Argentina's Alejandro Tosti, who are both four under through 14 holes in the third round.
South Korea's K.H. Lee is in the clubhouse at 13 under after a third-round 65. He is tied for seventh place with J.J. Spaun (five under through 17 holes), Davis Thompson (five under through 16), Norman Xiong (one under through 13), Canada's Taylor Pendrith (three under through 13) and Germany's Matti Schmid (even par through 13).
Ghim logged three birdies and nine pars before he got hot, reeling off birdies at the par-fiv 13th hole, the par-three 14th hole, the par-four 15th hole
