Things are crowded atop the leaderboard at TPC Sawgrass.
When play concluded Friday at the Korn Ferry Challenge, five players were tied for the lead at 6 under while 10 more were just a shot back. Among the leaders were journeymen Ben Kohles and Scott Langley, as well as a trio of young talents, Kristoffer Ventura, Lee Hodges and Paul Barjon.
Kohles and Langley, who have combined for three career Korn Ferry Tour wins and six seasons on the PGA Tour, shot 66 and 68, respectively, in Round 2 on the Dye’s Valley Course. Kohles entered this week’s restart at 10th in KFT points, having already posted two top-3s this season.
