Zach Bauchou leads Bank of Utah Championship after career-best 62

Zach Bauchou has taken the outright lead at the Bank of Utah Championship at Black Desert Resort in Ivins, Utah, after shooting a career-best 9-under-par 62. Bauchou secured the lead with birdies on the final two holes.

The tournament has seen exceptionally low scoring. Nine players are tied one stroke behind Bauchou at 63, including David Lipsky, Sudarshan Yellamaraju, and Jordan Smith. Smith notably recorded his first career albatross on the par-5 9th hole with a 238-yard shot, which was named ‘Shot of the Day’ by the PGA Tour.

Other notable performances include Jackson Koivun, who secured a spot in the weekend after birdying three of his final five holes to finish at 6 under, and Nick Taylor, who finished with a 50-foot eagle putt.
