Eaks shot a remarkable 10-under-par round of 62, including a hole-in-one on the seventh hole, to take the lead after the second round of the inaugural $1.6 million Dick's Sporting Goods Open.

Eaks, a sixth-year Champions Tour veteran still seeking his first victory, holds a one-shot lead over qualifier Bruce Vaughan, who shot an 8-under 64.

"It's hard to get over the hump and win that first tournament," Eaks said. "If I can't do it, hopefully I can do it some other time. But I hope it's (tomorrow).

First-round leaders Scott Hoch and former B.C. Open champion Craig Stadler are still in the hunt. Hoch birdied four of his last five holes to finish the day with a 66 and is at 9-under par, two shots off the lead. Stadler is 8 under following a second-round 67.

A day after posting surprisingly high scores, the field attacked En-Joie on a sunny, warm, wind-free afternoon. In yesterday's first round, just three players broke 70. Twenty-two did on today.

Nobody was better than Eaks. His round of 62 was one shot off the course's professional tournament record, shot most recently by Robert Gamez in the second round of the 2004 B.C. Open.

"If he shoots another round like he did today, he's going to run away," Hoch said. "The scores were lower but they weren't that much lower. It was that easy for him to shoot 10 under. That's a phenomenal round."

Eaks, a self-taught golfer who played college basketball at the University of Northern Colorado, has five second-place finishes in his first six years on the Champions Tour. He's finished in second place three times this season, most recently at the Principal Charity Classic last month.

This week, he shot an opening-round 71, putting him four shots off the lead. But he got rolling on Saturday on the third hole, chipping in from 45-feet for an eagle 3.

"My caddie said 'I think that's the turning point,' and he was right," Eaks said.

The day got even better for Eaks four holes later, when he aced the 197-yard par-3 seventh hole with his 5-iron.

"I've got to be honest with you, it was one of the best shots I've ever hit," Eaks said. "It never left the pin. It hit the green and just trickled. It just rolled like a putt right in the hole."

Eaks kept going with five birdies on the back nine, including three in a row to close his round.

"I putted better today," Eaks said. "Yesterday, I probably missed eight putts within 10 feet. Today, they just happened to go in. That's how it is for me. I can be the worst putter or the best putter. I don't know which one's coming."

Vaughan, who earned a spot in the tournament in Monday's qualifier, shot a bogey-free round and had five birdies on the front nine. His 64 was tied with John Harris for the second best of the afternoon.
