Whee Kim, Mark Hensby lead Barbasol Championship
Whee Kim leads the PGA Tour's Barbasol Championship. ( Associated Press )While the British Open started, stopped and drug on across the pond, Australian Mark Hensby fired a smooth 7-under 64 to take a share of the second-round lead in the PGA Tour’s Barbasol Championship. Hensby birdied three of the final four holes Friday at Grand National’s Lake Course. Hensby matched South Korea’s Whee Kim at 9-under 133.
“I played well. I gave myself a lot of chances,” Hensby said. “I hit a couple of wayward ones, but I haven’t played in a tournament in quite some time. You get a little nervy in the middle, but then kind of settled down and hit some good shots.”
