Short game saves Lingmerth (67) at Firestone

AKRON, Ohio – The swing wasn’t cooperating, but thankfully for David Lingmerth, his short game showed up in a big way Friday at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational.

The Swede found only 6 of 18 greens during his second round at Firestone Country Club, but some adept wedge work helped him card a 3-under 67, good enough for a share of the low round of the day amid difficult conditions.

Lingmerth needed only 21 putts to complete his round and got things going with a chip-in for birdie from 20 yards on No.
