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.
