Preston Stout of Oklahoma State is 11-under and T11 at the Veritex Bank Championship at Texas Rangers Golf Club in Arlington, Tex., on the Korn Ferry Tour. 

Stout has shot rounds of 67-64, and his second round 7-under 64 was highlighted by a 4-under start through the first three holes and a hole-out eagle on No. 1. He jumped 39 spots up the leaderboard in the second round. 

Last June, Stout won the 24th Veritex Bank Byron Nelson Junior Championship for the third consecutive year at Lakewood Country Club.

Stout tied Jordan Spieth, who won the event three straight years from 2008-2010, for most victories (total and consecutive) of the prestigious 54-hole championship. Stout defeated Frisco’s Davis Ovard on the first playoff hole by making a two-foot birdie putt.

For the second straight year, Stout won via a playoff. He carded a final round 4-under 67 to finish at 14-under for the championship.
