J.B. Holmes has 1-shot lead in Phoenix Open - TSN.ca

Six months after a final-round collapse and slow-play controversy at the British Open, Holmes took a one-stroke lead into the weekend at the Waste Management Phoenix Open. He shot a 6-under 65, a day after making a hole-in-one in an opening 64.

The 37-year-old from Kentucky got away from the game during the off-season, playing only two rounds in four months leading into the new year. He shook off the rust at Kapalua and got back in form last week at Torrey Pines with a tie for 16th. He bogeyed the par-4 18th and took the lead from Wyndham Clark with birdies on the par-4 first and par-5 third. Holmes chipped in for birdie on the par-4 sixth and gave back the stroke on the par-4 ninth after hitting into a greenside bunker.

“I've just hit really good fairway woods in there,” Horschel said. “Hit a perfect 5-wood in there yesterday and today was a perfect high, cut, soft 3-wood into that green and landed it in the only soft spot I guess there is on that green early in the morning when the greens are rock hard.”Scott Piercy was 10 under after a 65. He had a hole-in-one on the 194-yard seventh and eagled 13.

Defending champion Rickie Fowler rebounded from an opening 74 with a 65 to get to 6 under. He eagled the par-5 13th and 15th.Fourth-ranked Justin Thomas was 6 under after his second straight 68. Thomas was tied with Adam Hadwin of Abbotsford, B.C., to tie for 17th.
