Last year's Korn Ferry Tour Player of the Year is now making his presence known on the PGA Tour
At a tournament ripe for a breakthrough moment, Justin Suh is seizing the opportunity. The reigning Korn Ferry Tour Player of the Year leads at the 2023 Honda Classic at 10 under, one stroke ahead of veteran Chris Kirk and two clear of Ben Taylor and Ryan Gerard as second-round play was suspended Friday evening due to darkness.
Suh is no stranger to entering the winner's circle at the professional level; he claimed the title at the Korn Ferry Tour Championship this past September. While the pressure of securing one's card on the PGA Tour is tantamount to actually winning on the PGA Tour, it will still be interesting to see how the rookie handles the heat around PGA National over the weekend.
In his rearview mirror are a number of PGA Tour winners including major champions Zach Johnson and Shane Lowry. Meanwhile, Dylan Frittelli, Byeong Hun An, Chesson Hadley and Adam Svensson took advantage of the calm conditions to play themselves back into this tournament after slow opening rounds.
