Day, Snedeker share lead; Tiger moves up

Jason Day and Brandt Snedeker played in far different conditions Saturday and wound up with a share of the lead halfway through the Deutsche Bank Championship in Norton, Mass.

Snedeker went from the rain showers of Hurricane Earl on Friday to breezy conditions Saturday in his second round when he shot 7-under-par 64. The wind got stronger throughout the afternoon for Day, who did well to shoot 67 and join Snedeker atop the leader board.

"It was a little tougher out there today," Day said. "It wasn't as fun as yesterday, I'll tell you that much."

The top 18 on the leader board were evenly split with players, who had to cope with rain and who got the worst of the wind.

Tiger Woods, in jeopardy of missing the cut and the rest of the FedEx Cup playoffs, didn't hit a bad shot through six holes and played bogey-free for the first time in more than a year for a 6-under 65 that left him in the middle of the pack. Woods, who started in a tie for 87th, moved up to a tie for 29th and was seven shots behind with 36 holes to play.

"I had to shoot a good one if I was going to move on," Woods said. "And I was able to do that today."

Day, in the 36-hole lead for the second straight week in these playoffs, and Snedeker were at 12-under 130. They are one shot ahead of FedEx Cup leader Matt Kuchar (65) and Charley Hoffman (67), with Luke Donald (67) another shot behind. Phil Mickelson (65) started hitting fairways and making putts and was in the group at 8 under.

The top 70 in the FedEx Cup standings advance to the third round next week outside Chicago. Fifteen players were eliminated by missing the cut, including Chad Campbell under bizarre circumstances. He was disqualified Saturday when officials realized he never had registered for the tournament, a simple formality.

"Just can't believe you make a mistake like that," Campbell said.

Schulz on top at Pebble Beach

Ted Shulz shot an 8-under 64 at Pebble Beach in Monterey, Calif., in the Champions Tour's First Tee Open. After two rounds, he has a three-shot lead over first-round leader Mark Calcavecchia (71).

Jimenez maintains lead

Spain's Miguel Angel Jimenez shot 3-under 68 to take a three-stroke lead into the final round of the European Masters in Crans-sur-Sierre, Switzerland. Jimenez, 46, coming off a course-record 61 Friday, called a one-stroke penalty on himself after marking his ball on the 10th fairway. He mistakenly thought he was allowed to lift, clean and place because of wet conditions.- AP
