Leishman also played a bogey-free round and had three straight birdies on the back nine for a 65.

They were at 12-under-par 201 with no room for error on a leaderboard that was packed with some of golf’s best players.

Paul Casey, who played in the final group last year at TPC Boston, shot a 67 and was one shot behind. Jordan Spieth birdied his final two holes and was among those two shots back. Dustin Johnson, who birdied four of his final five holes, was three behind.

LEWIS ENDS A SKID IN OREGON Stacy Lewis, who is from the Houston area, came through for her hurricane-ravaged hometown and ended a long winless streak, capturing the Cambia Portland Classic in Oregon.

Lewis, 32, won her 12th L.P.G.A. Tour title and her first since June 2014, ending a frustrating stretch that included 12 runner-up finishes. She closed with a three-under 69 to hold off In Gee Chun by a stroke at Columbia Edgewater.
