Hurley can't imagine a better place for first win

Sure, there’s the prospect of Ernie Els overcoming the yips to win for the 20^th time, or of Jon Rahm taking the title in his pro debut.

But with 18 holes to play at Congressional Country Club, it’s tough to find a better story than Billy Hurley III’s.

Thanks to a bogey-free 67 Saturday, Hurley leads Els by two and Rahm by three at the Quicken Loans National.

This is the second 54-hole lead of Hurley’s career. The first came two years ago at The Greenbrier and ended with him seven shots behind winner Angel Cabrera after a closing 73.
