Justin Suh wasn’t afforded the ideal preparation for his Honda Classic debut.

Yet, the reigning Korn Ferry Tour player of the year finds himself atop the leaderboard through 36 holes.

Not only had Suh not played PGA National prior to this week, but he didn’t see the Bear Trap (aka hole Nos. 15-17) until Thursday’s first round. Suh was called off the golf course at the end of a slogging pro-am on Wednesday. Playing his final five holes basically blind, Suh carded two birdies, playing the closing stretch in 2 under to fire an opening 4-under 66.
