Defending champions Gary Hallberg and Scott Hoch, who were tied for the lead with Hulbert and Tway after the first round, shot a second-round 66 and fell into a four-way tie seven strokes off the pace.

Sluman and Wrenn birdied five of the last six holes for a 63. Couples and Donald also shot a 63, making six birdies on their first nine holes.

Orville Moody tied a course record by shooting a seven-under-par 65 to take a two-stroke lead in the first round of a $300,000 seniors tournament at Kaanapali, Hawaii.

Moody had an eagle, six birdies and a bogey on the 6,704-yard Royal Kaanapali North course to tie the record set by Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus in 1964 while playing in the Canada Cup, now called the World Cup.

Following Moody at 67 were Bobby Nichols and Charles Coody. Doug Dalziel, Dave Hill, Dale Douglass and former NFL quarterback John Brodie were next at 68.
