LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla.
Justin Leonard described his round Friday at Disney as a “fun, easy day,” and it was every bit of that. He had a 9-under 63 for his lowest round of the year, putting him in a tie for the lead with Henrik Stenson and Bio Kim at the Children’s Miracle Network Classic.
Leonard, Stenson (64) and Kim (65) were at 12-under 132, two shots clear of Nick O’Hern (66).
Webb Simpson and Luke Donald are battling for the money title, and they both played the opening two rounds at 7-under 137, meaning they will be paired again today.
Simpson has a $363,029 lead, so the third round looms large for Donald. The top-ranked Donald can finish no worse than a two-way tie for second, provided Simpson finishes down the leaderboard. It’s a tall order for Donald, the No. 1 player in the world.
