SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Troy Matteson had never shot a 61 until this week. Now he's done it twice in a row to set a PGA Tour record.

His second straight 9-under round at the Frys.com Open yesterday gave him a three-shot lead at 16-under 194 heading into the final day of the third stop in the tour's Fall Series.

Matteson's 122 score in consecutive rounds broke the tour record of 123 set this year by Steve Stricker in the third and fourth rounds of the Bob Hope Classic.

"With the year I've had, it's — first of all — it's undescribable," Matteson said.

Webb Simpson (64), Tim Clark (65) and Chris Stroud (65) were tied at 13 under. Second round co-leader Rickie Fowler (69) and Nick O'Hern (67) were in a group of five at 12 under.

In an amazing stretch, Nicholas Thompson had a double eagle on the par-5 11th, followed by a hole-in-one on the par-3 13th, a drop of five shots in three holes. He finished with a 65 to tie Justin Leonard (69) at 11 under.

"He needs to go straight back to Vegas and put some money down," said Matteson, who teamed with Thompson at Georgia Tech.

Greg Owen, the other second-round co-leader, struggled to a 3-over 75 and is tied at 202.

Clark, who lives in Scottsdale, says three shots are not a lot to make up.

"This course, if you start to struggle, you can shoot over par easy," he said. "And obviously playing great, like Troy has done the last two days, you can shoot 9 under. So three shots is nothing."

Conditions couldn't have been better on the par-70 desert Raptor Course layout at Grayhawk Golf Club, playing at a short 7,013 yards. The result was some amazing shots, including two other aces, both on the 198-yard 16th.

The first, by Ted Purdy with a 5-iron, won him a Mercedes, which he kissed after making the shot. Chad Campbell later had one on the same hole, using a 6-iron.

Hawaii's Parker McLachlin, a Punahou alum, shot 72 and is tied for 61st at 210.

TWO TIED IN AT&T

Andy Bean shot a 5-under 67 to tie Russ Cochran for the second-round lead in the Champions Tour's AT&T Championship at San Antonio.

Cochran had a 68 to match Bean at 8-under 134 on the Oak Hills Country Club course.

Jay Haas (67) was a stroke back, and Jeff Sluman (67) and Tom Kite (69) were at 136.

EVERY TOPS NATIONWIDE

Matt Every made a 15-foot birdie putt on the final hole for a 5-under 67 and a one-stroke lead over money leader Michael Sim after the third round of the season-ending Nationwide Tour Championship at Charleston, S.C.

Every, 49th on the money list, is at 16-under 200 on the Daniel Island Club's Ralston Creek Course. Sim, a three-time winner this year, shot a 67.

SWEDE LEADS IN SPAIN

Sweden's Michael Jonzon shot a 6-under 65 to take a one-stroke lead in the Castello Masters Costa Azahar at Castellon, Spain.

Jonzon had a 16-under 197 total on the Club de Campo del Mediterraneo course. Sergio Garcia, the defending champion on his home course, had a 67 to join Germany's Martin Kaymer (68) at 15 under.
