Andrade retains narrow lead

Billy Andrade shot a 3-under-par 68 on Friday to maintain a one-stroke lead after two rounds in the Pennsylvania Classic.

A day after shooting a bogey-free 66 on the Waynesborough Country Club course, Andrade's only mistake Friday was a bogey on the sixth hole.

"I hit a 7-wood off the tee and hooked it a little too much just in the left rough," Andrade said. "I had a horrible lie on my third shot and didn't get it up and down.

Andrade, who hasn't won on Tour since 2000, quickly regrouped with a birdie on the next hole. A 9-iron into the green left him with a 20-foot putt that he sank. He also birdied the par-4 ninth - his final hole after starting on the back nine - to put him at 8-under for the tournament.

"I'm the bogey king," Andrade said. "There are a lot of ways to make a bogey, and I've made my share, so I'm very happy with where I stand."

Ian Leggatt was just one stroke behind Andrade, followed by rookie Kenneth Staton who was two strokes behind at 6-under. Brent Geiberger (68), Jeff Brehaut (68) and Donnie Hammond (69) are tied for 4th at 5-under.

Leggatt, whose only PGA Tour victory came in February's Tucson Open, had a 3-foot putt on No. 17 to tie Andrade, but missed the attempt at his sixth straight birdie. He also pushed a 6-footer wide on No. 18 to finish with a 65.

"The putt on 17 shook me up a little bit," Leggatt said. "But I don't even think about it. I will still be able to sleep on Sunday night if I lose by one."

Bryce Molder and New Zealand's Michael Long also shot 65s - the low rounds of the day.

Molder, playing on a sponsors exemption, sandwiched four straight birdies and a par on the front nine between bogeys on Nos. 1 and 7. He and Australia's Robert Allenby, the defending champion, are among seven players at 3-under.

Molder said the front nine was an adventure.

"I wasn't hitting the ball well, but I kept making putts," Molder said.

Long birdied four of five holes on the back nine, but missed a 7-foot putt on 18 that would have tied the course-record 64. He's at 1-under for the tournament.

Staton, starting on the back nine, got off to a rough start with a double-bogey on the 10th hole but got both strokes back with birdies on Nos. 16 and 17.

"I started off missing the fairway and that's the one thing you cant do," Staton said. "I just kind of shook it off and went to the next hole."

The front nine also began badly for Staton. Another missed fairway and a failed 7-foot attempt for par led to a bogey. Birdies on Nos. 2, 4 and 5 got him back to 6-under.

"There are certain shots during your round where it's the defining moment," he said. I haven't been able to hit those shots. Today, I was able to do that."

Jim McGovern shot a 67 to put him into a tie with Paul Goydos (69) and J.J. Henry (71) at 4-under. Steve Jones. ... Chris DiMarco, who won at Waynesborough in 2000, birdied Nos. 15-17 to make the cut at 1-over. ... Japan's Hidemichi Tanaka had a shot at 66, but had his first bogey of the day on the final hole to finish at 3-under for the tournament.
