NAPA, Calif. – Maverick McNealy overcame three consecutive bogeys and holed out from 74 yards for eagle on the last for an 8-under 64 and the second-round lead Friday in the Fortinet Championship.
Winless in 66 career starts on the PGA Tour, McNealy had nine birdies – one from a greenside bunker to offset his stumbles and get to 12 under at Silverado Resort and Spa.
Beau Hossler matched McNealy’s 64 to get to 6 under with Mito Pereira (67). Three others, including tour rookie of the year Will Zalatoris (67), were 9 under.
First-round leader Chez Reavie barely made the cut after a round of 75 that included five bogeys and a double bogey left him eight strokes behind.
