Holmes’ ninth straight, sub-par score, dating to round three of the RBC Heritage. The only time in his career to enjoy a longer stretch came in 2010, when he posted 10 consecutive sub-par rounds (Northern Trust Open, AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am and the first two rounds of Waste Management Phoenix Open). Holmes’ only score better than today’s 66 this season was a 7-under 65 in round two of last week’s Zurich Classic of New Orleans (T11). This marks the fourth time Holmes has held a 54-hole lead.
