Cantlay loses lead in PGA event

Staff report

CROMWELL, CONN.

Patrick Cantlay tumbled down the leaderboard a day after shooting the lowest score by an amateur in PGA Tour history, while Fredrik Jacobson had a 7-under 63 on Saturday to take a one-stroke lead over Bryce Molder in the Traveler’s Championship.

Jacobson closed with a 30-foot birdie putt on No. 18 to cap his third straight bogey-free round. He opened with rounds of 65 and 66 and the 63 left him at 16 under at TPC River Highlands.

Moulder, who also opened with rounds of 65 and 66, shot a 64.

The 19-year-old Cantlay followed his course-record 60 with a 72 to fall five strokes behind Jacobson. Cantlay bogeyed the final two holes. An amateur hasn’t won a PGA Tour event since Phil Mickelson in the 1991 Northern Telecom Open in Arizona.
