Cameron Tringale and Canada's Adam Hadwin carded 6-under 66s to
share second place at Silverado Resort and Spa's North Course.
Nate Lashley, Max Homa, Scott Stallings, Troy Merritt, Jason
Dufner and Chile's Mito Pereira are tied for fourth at 5 under.
Reigning Masters champion Hideki Matsuyama of Japan is tied for
24th at 3 under, ahead of reigning PGA Championship winner Phil
Mickelson (tied for 41st at 2 under) and reigning U.S. Open
champion Jon Rahm of Spain (tied for 104th at even par).
Reavie, who began on the back nine, logged eight birdies and
four pars over his final 12 holes, closing with three
consecutive birdies.
"It was kind of a slow start, but I told myself to stay patient,
you have plenty of chances to make birdies -- and I was able to
do that coming in," he said. "But I was 1 over through six
holes, I think. I was like, 'OK, stay patient, don't become
impatient.' Yeah, fortunately I was able to make some birdies."
Regarding his improvement on his second nine, Reavie said, "I
started hitting the ball better. ... I was able to hit some
fairways on the back and give myself some good looks."
Reavie, 39, owns two career PGA Tour wins, at the 2008 RBC
Canadian Open and the 2019 Travelers Championship.
Tringale, 34, is looking for his first PGA Tour victory. He had
three birdies on each nine en route to a bogey-free round
Thursday.
Hadwin, a 33-year-old who is four years removed from his lone
tour triumph, logged seven birdies and one bogey.
Rahm, who is ranked No. 1 in the world, is the only player in
the field who will compete in the Ryder Cup next week. Rahm was
still feeling the effects of a stomach ailment that forced him
to withdraw from the pro-am Wednesday.
"Not my best ball-striking day, a little tight today probably
from having to be in bed for so long yesterday," Rahm said.
"Even with how I felt, I played a little bit better than I
thought I was going to, to be honest. Started great, started to
hit some good shots, too bad I couldn't capitalize on some of
the good chances early on."
