Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 24 Oct, 01:20 · Archive
American Chandler Blanchet and Japan's Kensai Hirata share the lead at 13-under par (129) after two rounds of the Butterfield Bermuda Championship at Port Royal. Blanchet shot a four-under 67 in the second round, including a final birdie from a blind shot on the par-4 closing hole. Hirata remained bogey-free with a 64 and had never shared the lead after any round in his rookie season on the PGA Tour.
Cameron Davis was the only Australian to make the cut. He shot a seven-under 64 in the second round for a bogey-free performance featuring seven birdies, leaving him at eight-under par in a share of 23rd place, five shots behind the leaders. Fellow Australian Aaron Baddeley missed the cut after shooting 69 and 75 for a total of two-over par.
Blanchet described the challenge ahead, noting the windy weekend conditions will require more than standard shots. Irish golfer Seamus Power, who won the championship in 2022, also shot a bogey-free 64 in the second round after a poor finish to the opening round.
