Nicolai Hojgaard, Sam Stevens tied for lead at Corales Puntacana Championship

PUNTA CANA, Dominican Republic — Nicolai Hojgaard of Denmark played bogey-free Saturday for a 6-under 66 and shared the lead with PGA Tour rookie Sam Stevens in the Corales Puntacana Championship.

Stevens twice had the lead down the stretch on the Corales course until a wobbly finish, making bogey on the 16th, answering with a birdie on the par-3 17th and then missing the 18th green for a closing bogey and a 68.

They were at 14-under 202, one shot ahead of a large group that included 36-hole leader Matt Wallace of England, Thomas Detry of Belgium and Tyler Duncan, who won his only Tour title at Sea Island in 2019.
