PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — Mike Weir closed with three birdies at Poppy Hills to finish with a 5-under 67 yesterday, moving into the lead at 12-under 130 after two rounds at the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.

Weir finished his first nine holes in even par, but after the turn he moved up the leaderboard as first-round leader Luke Donald sputtered through his round at Pebble Beach.

Aaron Oberholser followed up his first-round 65 with a 4-under 68 at Spyglass Hill to move into second place at 11-under 133, three shots back of Weir. Oberholser will play Pebble Beach today.

Jonathan Byrd (65) and Fredrik Jacobson (67) both played Pebble Beach and were tied with Donald at 10-under 134

Players basked in the sun on Thursday but yesterday the coastal fog rolled in, sending players to their bags for longer clubs to carve through the moist air. A slight wind also tested Weir early, but he made a strong move late in his round.

"I birdied my last three holes, which is a great way to finish," said the left-handed swinging Weir, whose last victory came at the 2004 Nissan Open.

Weir will play Spyglass Hill today, a course where he has not fared as well as the other two tournament courses.

"I haven't been able to pinpoint it, really," he said. "Some years I haven't putted those greens very well. Other years I haven't hit it well there."

Donald, who scorched Spyglass Hill on Thursday, matching Phil Mickelson's course record 62, failed to capitalize and turned in an even-par 72 yesterday, giving him a total of 134.

Castle High alum Dean Wilson shot a 70 at Poppy Hills and was at 138. Punahou alum Parker McLachlin had a 69 at Spyglass for 140.

GRAND OPENING

$25M TIGER WOODS LEARNING CENTER OPENS

Tiger Woods didn't have to hit a spectacular shot or pump his fist to find satisfaction. Instead, he gripped an oversized pair of scissors and cut the ribbon to officially open his $25 million learning center in Anaheim, Calif., yesterday aimed at helping children find their way.

"This is by far the greatest thing that has ever happened to me," said Woods, a winner of 57 tournaments worldwide and 10 major championships. "This is bigger than golf. This is bigger than anything I've done on the golf course. Because we will be able to shape lives."

Woods was joined by former President Clinton and Maria Shriver, the wife of California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, along with dozens of the estimated 5,000 children who will pass through the doors of the Tiger Woods Learning Center by the end of the year.

Kids who apply by writing letters come to the center after school for interactive programs in science, math and technology.

OBITUARY

DICK HARMON WAS PART OF GOLF TEACHING FAMILY

Dick Harmon, part of golf's most renowned teaching family and the son of former Masters champion Claude Harmon, died yesterday in Palm Desert, Calif. He was 58.

Harmon died at Eisenhower Medical Center, said a hospital spokeswoman, who did not disclose the cause of death.

Harmon was teaching at the Dick Harmon School of Golf near Houston. Among his clients were Masters champions Fred Couples and Craig Stadler, and former PGA champion Lanny Wadkins.

Older brother Butch Harmon worked with Tiger Woods and Greg Norman.

"It's hard to believe," Butch Harmon told Golfweek.com. "It just came out of the blue. He was fine last night and gone this morning."
