Defending Champion Harrington One Shot Behind; Stricker Absent Following Father's Hospitalization

Despite experiencing muscular chest pain, Dawson managed to continue playing and shares the lead with Alker.
Defending champion Padraig Harrington is one shot behind the leaders, along with Alex Cejka, Harrison Frazar, and Thongchai Jaidee.
Steve Stricker, who has already clinched the Schwab Cup and its $1 million bonus, is absent from the event due to his father's hospitalization.
