Sepp Straka of Austria has seized the lead at the PGA Pebble Beach Pro-Am, finishing the second round with an impressive seven-under-par 65, bringing his total to 14-under 130. This performance places him three strokes ahead of competitors Cam Davis and Russell Henley, who are tied at 11-under [c5c70c99].
Straka's strong showing included eight birdies and just one bogey, showcasing his exceptional skill on the course. His recent victory at the American Express earlier in January 2025 seems to have bolstered his confidence, as he attributes his success to a stronger putting grip [c5c70c99].
