Forsyth & Harrington pull clear with 62's

Scotland's Alastair Forsyth shot a 10-under-par 62 today to take a two-stroke lead after the second round of the Rio de Janeiro 500 Years Open, the first PGA European Tour event in South America.

Forsyth, who tied the course record set Thursday by Australia's Peter Lonard, had a 17-under 127 total on the Itanhanga course. Ireland's Padraig Harrington also shot a 62 earlier in the day for a 129 total

"I knew I was eight shots behind Padraig Harrington going into my second round, but I wasn't even looking at his total," Forsyth said. "I didn't think anyone would get near him, let alone me."

Scotland's Raymond Russell (66), England's Roger Chapman (64), Argentina's Jorge Berendt (67) and Switzerland's Paulo Quirici (69) were tied for third at 134.

Lonard shot a 74 for a 136 total.
