Published: November 1, 2008
Ginn sur Merr Classic: David Duval hasn't played in the windy, wet conditions since the British Open this summer. Just like then, he managed to work himself into contention yesterday in Palm Coast, Fla.
Duval, winless in seven years and laboring at No. 233 on the money list, put together a strong round of 3-under 69 at the Ginn Ocean Hammock Resort that left him two shots behind Ryan Palmer going into the weekend.
Palmer missed only one green on the back nine for a 71, putting him at 6-under 138.
Robert Allenby, at No. 30 the highest-ranked player at this Fall Series event, had a 71 and was one shot out of the lead along with Peter Lonard (69), rookie Michael Letzig (74) and Ken Duke (69).
Charles Schwab Cup: Andy Bean made five birdies in six holes through intermittent rain showers, finishing at 10-under 134 to take a one-shot lead against Nick Price after two rounds yesterday in Sonoma, Calif.
Bean rolled to a 6-under 66 at Sonoma Golf Club. At the halfway point of the Champions Tour's season-ending event, he nearly made six consecutive birdies to start the back nine, barely missing a putt on the 12th.
Price, the first-round co-leader, shot a bogey-free 69 for a 9-under 135. Tom Jenkins, Scott Hoch and Gene Jones are just two strokes behind Bean at 136, and half of the 29-man field is five shots from the leader.
Volvo Masters: Padraig Harrington was unable to close the gap in his bid for the Order of Merit yesterday before heavy rain cut short the second round yesterday in Sotogrande, Spain.
Three players in the 57-man field finished play, which will resume today.
Showers are expected through Sunday at the $5.37 million season finale. Twelve golfers were unable to tee off.
Hana Bank Championship: Katherine Hull shot a 6-under 66 to open a two-shot lead against Amy Yang after the first round yesterday in Incheon, South Korea.
Defending champion Suzann Pettersen struggled to a 5-over 77 in windy, gloomy conditions at the new Sky 72 golf club.
Petterson made the turn at 4-over and managed only one birdie in her round.
Hull, ranked No. 35 in the world, didn't have nearly as much trouble. She shot 3-under on the front side and, after a slip-up at the par-4 11th, birdied four of her final six holes to take the early lead in the $1.6 million event.
Hull has been playing her best over the second half of the season. She hasn't missed a cut since the Wegmans LPGA in June, finishing in the top 10 five times, and won the CN Canadian Women's Open in August.
