Smith leads as Spaun builds momentum

Jordan Smith holds a two-shot lead at the Charles Schwab Challenge, while reigning U.S. Open champion J.J. Spaun remains firmly in contention.

Jordan Smith carded a second straight 65 to reach 10 under par and take a two-shot lead into the weekend at Colonial.

Just behind, J. J. Spaun sits at 8 under after a 68, continuing his strong form ahead of next month’s U.S. Open title defense at Shinnecock Hills.

Spaun credited a recent putter change for his improved performances, while Smith admitted leading on the PGA TOUR is a new experience he plans to enjoy rather than overthink.
