John Rollins matched the course record with a 10-under 62 to take a two-stroke lead yesterday in the Legends Reno-Tahoe Open in Nevada, and Chris Riley tied the PGA Tour mark for relation to par for nine holes with 9-under 27.

Rollins, who had a birdie-birdie-eagle-birdie-birdie run, had a 12-under 132 total — leaving him two strokes ahead of 2003 PGA champion Shaun Micheel, who followed an opening 69 with a bogey-free 65 at Montreux Golf and Country Club.

"It was just one of those days, I guess," said Rollins, who tied for second at Reno last year. "I hit a lot of good shots and obviously made a lot of putts. That's really all it is, you just make putts."

Punahou School and UCLA alum Parker McLachlin is six back of the lead after shooting his second consecutive 69.

Castle High alum Dean Wilson (73) missed the cut with a 147 total.

Riley, the former UNLV star who won in Reno in 2002, went on his own birdie-eagle-birdie-birdie-birdie streak to reach 7 under through seven holes. He chipped in from 24 feet for his second eagle of the day on the par-5 ninth before starting the back nine with consecutive bogeys. He finished with a 64, leaving him tied for third at 8 under.

HARRINGTON LEADS BY A STROKE AT AKRON

Padraig Harrington broke par for the second straight day, something he hadn't done in four months. Two more days like that and it could lead to something he hasn't done in a year.

Without a victory since the PGA Championship, Harrington tread carefully across Firestone yesterday for a 1-under 69 that gave him a one-shot lead over Tim Clark (68) going into the weekend at the Bridgestone Invitational at Akron, Ohio.

"I'm obviously pleased," said Harrington, who was at 7-under 133. "I shot a good score (64) yesterday — put me up there — and it's nice to shoot a reasonable score to back it up. Break 70 on the weekend a few more times and I should be doing OK."

Tiger Woods (138), a six-time winner at Firestone, was among 20 players within five shots of the lead.

Phil Mickelson, playing for the first time since his wife's surgery for breast cancer last month, made a few great escapes from the rough and put together a 69 to finish six shots behind Harrington.
