Jake Knapp, a rookie on the PGA Tour, has made a remarkable transition from working security at a late-night restaurant in his hometown to leading the CJ Cup Byron Nelson after shooting consecutive 7-under 64s on Friday. At 14-under 128, Knapp holds a one-stroke lead over Troy Merritt and Matt Wallace, with Kelly Kraft trailing by two strokes.
Knapp, who secured his first Tour win earlier this year, expressed his unwavering dedication to golf despite his previous job, stating that he always knew he belonged on the Tour and continued to work towards that goal.
