Kevin Na settles for 69, 2-shot Colonial lead over Jordan Spieth, Jim Furyk
Kevin Na settled for a 1-under-par 69 a day after going low at the PGA Tour’s Colonial in Fort Worth, Texas, taking a two-shot lead Saturday over a group that included local favorite Jordan Spieth and 2003 U.S. Open champion Jim Furyk.
Na recovered from a double bogey at the par-5 11th that cost him the lead, steadying himself over the final seven holes to reach 9- under. His 62 in the second round was his third at least that low over a span of six rounds at Colonial.
Spieth and Furyk, winless since 2015, both shot 68 and were among the group at 7-under along with C.T. Pan, who was tied with Na before bogeys on the final two holes. Pan settled for a 68 as well.
