Former U.S. Open champion Gary Woodland finds himself in a promising position at the Shriners Children's Open after completing 54 holes with a share of the clubhouse lead. Woodland, who underwent brain surgery over a year ago, displayed impressive form with a bogey-free 65 to tie Las Vegas resident Kurt Kitayama at the top.
Despite trailing J.T. Poston and Doug Ghim by one shot when play was halted due to darkness, Woodland's resurgence on the course has been notable. Poston, with an eagle and solid play, led the field at 15-under par through 13 holes, closely followed by Ghim.
