FORT WORTH, Texas — Phil Mickelson is carrying five different wedges in his bag at the Crowne Plaza Invitational. He's used every one of them — very effectively.

Along with his putter.

Mickelson had 11 one-putts and converted all six sand saves in a 2-under 68 in the second round yesterday to take the lead at 7-under 133. The world's No. 2-ranked player led Matt Kuchar (64), Brian Gay (65) and Johnson Wagner (71) by one stroke.

"It was probably the best putting round I've had all year," said Mickelson, who needed only 25 putts.

That's because Mickelson kept setting himself up with the short clubs. From the fairways, the rough and the bunkers.

Only four of his one-putts were 9 feet or longer (the longest was 18 feet). Three of those came at Nos. 3 through 5, the trio of holes known as Colonial's "horrible horseshoe" because of the difficulty and layout of that stretch, where he hit his approach into greenside bunkers each time and saved par. That was part of his final nine holes.

"Those putts kept the round going," Mickelson said. "When I got through those holes, I thought I could get a couple of birdies coming in. I had a couple of good chances."

Mickelson didn't lower his score after that, missing a 6-foot birdie on No. 7 before his short approach at No. 9 bounced over the hole and he slid an 8-footer just past. But the 2000 Colonial champion, here for the first time in three years, still stayed alone at the top of the leaderboard.

Honolulu's Parker McLachlin shot a 70 and was tied for 35th at 140. Kane'ohe's Dean Wilson shot a 69 and was tied for 52nd at 141. The cut was 142.

LPGA CORNING CLASSIC

AMMACCAPANE LEADS

CORNING, N.Y. — On a seesaw day, Dina Ammaccapane liked what she saw when it was over.

Ammaccapane, who had six birdies and three bogeys, shot her second straight 69 to gain a one-stroke lead after the second round of the LPGA Corning Classic.

Ammaccapane was at 6-under 138. First-round leader Erica Blasberg (74), Janice Moodie (68), Wendy Ward (70) and Katie Futcher (69) were one shot back.

SENIOR PGA

PURTZER TAKES LEAD

ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Closing with a 25-foot putt for birdie, Tom Purtzer put a dent in Oak Hill Country Club's stingy reputation to take the lead after the second round of the 69th Senior PGA Championship.

Purtzer, a five-time PGA Tour winner, shot a 3-under 67 to go to even-par 140 for the tournament. That put him one up on Jay Haas, the first-round leader, who shot a 2-over 72, and Massy Kuramoto, who finished the day 2-under.

Hawai'i's David Ishii shot 77—155 to tie for 104th, missing the cut by three shots.

BMW PGA CHAMPIONSHIP

MCGINLEY LEADS BY FOUR

VIRGINIA WATER, England — Paul McGinley finished birdie-eagle for a 6-under 66 and set a record 36-hole total to lead by four strokes at the BMW PGA Championship. The Irish Ryder Cup player took advantage of softer conditions on the West Course at Wentworth to move to 13-under 131.
