07/23/2010 -
Etobicoke, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tim Clark fired a six-under 64 Friday to grab
a share of the lead after 36 holes of the Canadian Open.
Clark was joined in the lead by Dean Wilson, who carded a 65 in round two.
They are tied at 10-under-par 130.
First-round leader Brent Delahoussaye posted a one-under 69 and slipped into a
tie for third at minus-nine. He was joined there by Steve Wheatcroft, who shot
four-under 66 Friday.
The second round was completed Friday despite a two-hour weather delay prior
to the start of the round.
With a slightly different setup this week, players started on the first and
ninth tees at St. George's Golf & Country Club for the first two rounds.
Clark, who finally broke through for his first PGA Tour win earlier this year
at the Players Championship, started his round on the ninth, where he
collected his first birdie.
The South African dropped in back-to-back birdie chances from the 11th to move
to minus-seven. Clark parred four straight before a birdie on the 17th.
Around the turn, Clark birdied the third and fifth to climb to 10-under. He
parred his final three holes.
"I certainly didn't expect to be scoring on this course," Clark admitted. "I
thought in the Pro-Am it was going to be pretty tough. But you know, I've been
hitting the driver really well and driving it in the fairway is a huge key on
this golf course. I've done that and been able to stay out of trouble."
Wilson, whose lone PGA Tour win was at The International in 2006, got going
with a birdie on the first. He gave that stroke back with a bogey at the
fourth.
The 40-year-old atoned for that error with a birdie on the par-three sixth.
Around the turn, Wilson moved to seven-under with a birdie at the 10th.
Wilson birdied 13 and 15 to move to nine-under. He was the first in the
clubhouse at 10-under as he birdied the 17th.
"I'm happy the way I've been playing. I've missed a few cuts, so it's nice to
get in contention and get in the mix," said Wilson, who has missed the cut in
five of his last six starts. "So it just feels nice to have a little bit of
control over my game."
J.J. Henry carded a five-under 65 Friday to move into a share of fifth at
eight-under-par 132. He stands alongside Hunter Mahan (67), Rob Grube (66) and
Brock Mackenzie (68).
Defending champion Nathan Green shot 65 to climb into a share of ninth at
minus-seven. He was joined there by Bob Estes (67), Tim Herron (63), Vance
Veazey (69) and Matt Jones (67).
NOTES: One day after Delahoussaye fired a 62 to match the tournament's 18-hole
scoring record, Kevin Sutherland shot 62 on Friday...No. 8 Paul Casey, the
highest ranked player in the field, tripped to a three-over 73, which put him
over the cut line, which fell at one-under-par 139 with 79 players moving on
to the weekend...Sean O'Hair, Fred Couples and Mike Weir were among those
joining Casey with the weekend off.
