After struggling on the PGA Tour this season, Brandon Hagy and Jose de Jesus Rodriguez are each in position to get another chance.
Hagy and Rodriguez share the 54-hole lead at the Nationwide Children’s Hospital Championship, the first of three events in the Korn Ferry Tour Finals. Hagy shot 2-under 69 on Ohio State’s Scarlet Course to improve to 9 under, where Rodriguez joins him after a 6-under 65 in which he made seven birdies.
Hagy, the 28-year-old long-hitter out of Cal, missed 12-of-13 cuts while competing on a major medical extension this season. He hasn’t played a world-ranked event since shooting 78-71 at the Travelers in June.
