ST. LOUIS (AP) — Ken Tanigawa had two front-nine eagles in a 6-under 65 for a share of the second-round lead with Doug Barron in the PGA Tour Champions’ inaugural Ascension Charity Classic. Tanigawa eagled the par-5 second and eighth holes in a front-nine 30 on Norwood Hills’ West Course, the tree-lined layout where Ben Hogan won the 1948 PGA Championship for his second major title. “I can’t tell you the last time I had two eagles on nine holes,” Tanigawa said. “I hit the shot of my life at eighth, almost made double eagle, and hit a 5-footer for eagle,” Barron said. :And then just kind of held on the first few holes of the back nine.”The 53-year-old Tanigawa has two senior titles, the last in 2019 in the major Senior PGA Championship.
