Exciting Moving Day lands Lee Westwood in front at Bay Hill
Lee Westwood leads after 54 holes at Arnold Palmer
ORLANDO, Fla. – Jordan Spieth is in his ninth season on the PGA TOUR, but he had never played the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard, nor seen Bay Hill Golf Club and Lodge before this week. Starting his Saturday four shots behind leader Corey Conners, Spieth said he’d gladly have signed up for a 68 and never left the locker room.
But man, what a wild day of fun and adventure he would have missed.
There were aces (two), including one by Spieth on the second hole. There was a Happy Gilmore moment on the par-5 sixth, as Bryson DeChambeau gave the fans what they wanted and took a mighty swat at the green. (He didn’t get there, but finished safely to the right, 370 yards away, leaving only a 58-degree wedge from 70 yards for his approach on the 531-yard double dogleg.) DeChambeau went so far right at the par-4 ninth, he nearly made birdie playing his second shot from Bay Hill's adjacent Challenger Course.
