Jonathan Byrd Takes Second-Round Lead, Shoots 8-Under 63 at Shriners

Filed under: PGA

LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Jonathan Byrd shot an 8-under 63 on Friday at rain-softened TPC Summerlin to take the second-round lead at 13 under in the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospital for Children Open.

Byrd, seeking his fourth PGA Tour title, had nine birdies and a bogey in perfect scoring conditions in the fourth of five Fall Series events.

"This golf course, when it's not firm, it takes a lot of teeth out of the golf course," Byrd said. "And the hole location and the way the greens are shaped and everything. But the ball is not going quite as far. I've hit it very well the last two days. I've given myself a lot of options, and I've putted well."

Japan's Ryuji Imada was a stroke back after a 62. He had an eagle, eight birdies and a bogey.
