Steve Wheatcroft and Andrew Loupe set the pace through 18 holes at the 2016 Wells Fargo Championship on Thursday.

He was already done by the time Wheatcroft and Loupe were wrapping up, and had he birdied either 17 or 18, he would have ended the day atop the leaderboard. Back-to-back birdies on Nos. 15 and 16 put Lahiri in a position to challenge for the lead. The PGA Tour shared a replay of the approach that set up his birdie putt:



ESPN.com's Jason Sobel noted it's been a good last few weeks for the 28-year-old:



ESPN 730's Bobby Rosinski had some fun with what was a relatively anonymous top three:



For the most part, the field's biggest stars struggled.
