Mike Donald, ignoring gusty winds that sent scores soaring, shot his second consecutive 67 Friday to take a four-shot lead after two rounds of the $800,000 Independent Insurance Agent Open at The Woodlands, Tex.

Donald bogeyed his second hole of the day but made five birdies in a seven-hole span to finish 36 holes at 10-under-par 134.

Seve Ballesteros, who was erratic with three birdies and three bogeys on the front nine, finished with his second straight 69 and was second.

Winds continued to rake the par-72, 7,045-yard course, keeping scores high. The 36-hole cut was 147, three over par.

Brad Faxon, who challenged Donald until he double-bogeyed the par-5, 530-yard 15th hole, finished with a 71 for 139. Curtis Strange, the defending champion, tied Faxon with a second-round 70.

Don Bies, the top rookie on the 1988 PGA Senior Tour, shot a 4-under par 68 in cold, windy conditions to take a three-shot lead after one round of the Seniors Reunion Pro-Am at Frisco, Tex..

Gary Player and Bruce Crampton each shot one-under par 71 in north winds that gusted to 18 m.p.h.
