HUMBLE, Texas -- Martin Kaymer played bogey-free on a steamy Texas afternoon for a 7-under 65, giving him a share of the lead Friday with two others at LIV Golf Houston in the final event before Kaymer returns to Pinehurst No. 2 for the U.S. Open.
Adrian Meronk of Poland and Caleb Surratt also were at 65 at the Golf Club of Houston, the former home of the Shell Houston Open on the PGA Tour.
Kaymer won the U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2 in 2014, the second of his two majors, with an eight-shot victory on a course that yielded only three scores under par for the week.
