By the Numbers
  • Crowe opened with a 10-under 62 and followed with a 69.
  • He leads by 1 shot and sits No. 117 in the FedEx Cup Fall standings; a win would move him to No. 63.
  • Golf Channel’s Saturday coverage runs from 2–5 p.m. ET.
Yes, But

Crowe’s lead is narrow, and several players are within a few shots—including 2021 Open champion Brian Harman, who is in Crowe’s group.

What’s Next

Saturday’s third round at Omni Barton Creek’s Fazio Canyons Course will set the stage for Sunday’s finish. Crowe’s bid for a first Tour title continues at 11:41 a.m. ET.

Bottom Line

Crowe has a chance to turn a strong week into a career-changing win, but a crowded leaderboard leaves little room for error.
