BEN JAMES (1ST/-15)
  • Ben James leads by one at 15-under 129 after an 8-under 64 on Friday. The rookie, who turned pro out of Virginia this summer, made five straight birdies and finished with one more on the par-3 ninth. It was his 14th round of 65 or lower in 13 starts as a pro.

SECOND-ROUND NOTES
  • Peter Malnati is one shot back at 14-under after a 64. He shared the lead until he missed a 12-foot par putt on the par-3 ninth.
  • Zac Blair (64-68) is three back at 12-under, and Stephan Yeager and Denny McCarthy are tied for fourth at 11-under after rounds of 65.
  • James is the No. 1 player in the PGA Tour University Ranking and has already secured his PGA Tour card for next year. A win this week would put him on the 2028 Championship Series and in the top 50 of the Official World Golf Ranking.
  • This is the second time James has led after 36 holes. The first was the RBC Canadian Open in June, his first start as a pro.
  • “I’m doing everything right,” James said. “I’m just trying to win each shot.”
