Ben James produces another low round and takes the 36-hole lead in Mexico
James built a one-shot lead with an 8-under 64 and his 14th round of 65 or lower in 13 pro tournaments.
Ben James shot an 8-under 64 on Friday at the World Wide Technology Championship in Los Cabos, Mexico, building a one-shot lead heading into the weekend.
James, the No. 1 player in the PGA Tour University ranking, holds a 15-under 129 total at the Tiger Woods-designed El Cardonal at Diamante and has four top-5 finishes since turning professional this summer.
Peter Malnati trails by one shot after his own 64, while Sudarshan Yellamaraju leads Canadian competitors at 10-under 134 and Zac Blair sits three shots back.
James said, "I'm just trying to win each shot," emphasizing his focus on individual shots rather than the leaderboard. He credited adapting to his surroundings for his recent success.
This is among the final three FedEx Cup Fall tournaments, with the top 100 players competing to maintain full PGA Tour status next year. A victory would move James into the top 50 in the world.
