The overnight leader at TPC Craig Ranch has been caught, as Sebastian Munoz was only able to do so much after his record-setting opening round at the 2022 AT&T Byron Nelson. Backing up his 12-under 60 with a respectable 3-under 69, the Colombian has been joined by Ryan Palmer and David Skinns at the top of the leaderboard at 15 under.
Palmer put together the round of the day and continued his dominance on the par 5s en route to a 10-under 62. Playing those eight holes in 9 under up to this point, the 45-year-old has once again put his best foot forward in his home state of Texas. Last in contention at the Texas Open in early April, Palmer ultimately fell off the pace over the weekend at TPC San Antonio.
“It’s so hard to win out here. I mean these guys are so good. I spent 19 years doing this … and these young guys are — you got to play such great golf to beat ’em,” said Palmer. “I played great at San Antonio, leading after two days and we’re back here again as of right now, I’m sure I’ll be one or two back going into tomorrow, but we’re in position again and we’ll learn from what we learned in San Antonio and try and do it here.”

The leaders
T1. Ryan Palmer, David Skinns, Sebastian Munoz (-15): Lost in the shuffle of two Texas boys is the ultimate journeyman, David Skinns. The 40-year-old’s story has been well-documented, but it is worth revisiting just how amazing his rise to the PGA Tour was.
To say the Englishman’s rookie campaign has not been kind to him would be an understatement. In 15 starts on the PGA Tour this season, Skinns has collected only six paychecks with his best finish coming last November at the RSM Classic. Currently 208th in the FedEx Cup standings, a big weekend would go a long way toward Skinns maintaining his status on the PGA Tour.
