Former Xavier golfer Jason Kokrak was tearing up the TPC Four Seasons golf course at the AT&T Byron Nelson through two days of golf, although his weekend is off to a rough start Saturday.
Kokrak, winless in 2017, went to bed Friday night in Irving, Texas with a five-shot lead on the field after a bogey-free 62 during his Friday round.
Kokrak's 36-hole lead was the largest in the event's storied history, passing Davis Love III's four-stroke lead through 36 holes in 2000.
Kokrak's third round got off to a wobble, though, and his lead was whittled down to a single stroke as of 2:30 p.
