Canadian Mackenzie Hughes shot a sizzling second-round 63, closing his bogey-free round with back-to-back birdies, to grab a share of the lead entering the weekend at the PGA Tour’s Sanderson Farms Championship. Thomas Detry, starting on the back nine Friday, posted his second straight five-under-par 67 and enters Saturday’s third round at the Country Club of Jackson in Mississippi also at 10-under. Hughes is in his seventh season on the tour and hasn’t won since his rookie year in 2016-17. Detry, a 29-year-old rookie who is playing in his 15th tour event, finished tied for 12th at the season-opening Fortinet Championship two weeks ago.
