The 2014 Georgia Tech graduate’s finish was his highest since tying for third at last December’s Mayakoba Golf Classic, and he shot four rounds in the 60s, including 65s on Friday and Saturday at the Old White TPC, for a 14-under-par 266.

Cameron Tringale had a solid start with a tie for 36^th at 274 (-6), and Roberto Castro tied for 56^th at 276 (-4), while rookie Vincent Whaley missed the cut in his Tour debut after posting rounds of 75-66.

Castro, Tringale, Werenski and Whaley are all in the field this week for the Sanderson Farms Championship along with Stewart Cink and Chesson Hadley, both making their first 2019-20 starts.
