COLUMBUS, Ohio — It’s a good thing Justin Bolli has a short memory. The last time the Georgia native teed it up at the Nationwide Children’s Hospital Invitational he was disqualified after the opening round for signing an incorrect scorecard. That was two years ago. This time around, Bolli checked, double-checked and re-checked the numbers before turning in his card which revealed a 5-under-par 66 that put him in sole possession of the 18-hole lead in the event that features the Tour’s fourth largest purse ($775,000) of the year.
