Golf Roundup : Blake Leads by One Shot After a 64

Jay Don Blake, continuing a hot streak that began last week, matched the course record with a seven-under-par 64 Friday and took a one-shot lead over Don Pooley in the second round of the Kemper Open golf tournament at Potomac, Md.

Blake finished his second straight bogey-free round with three birdies on the final four holes of the 6,917-yard TPC at Avenel course. His 36-hole total of 132 put him 10 strokes under par at the halfway point of the $900,000 event.

Pooley, who also shot a 64, twice had chances to set a course record. He missed a seven-foot birdie putt by a few inches on the 18th hole, after coming up just short on a 12-foot birdie try at No. 17.

Tom Byrum was three strokes back after shooting a 69, and first-round leader D.A. Weibring, who shot a 72 after also tying the course record Thursday, was among three players at 136.

Blake, who has not won a tournament in his three years on the PGA Tour, came closest to victory last week when he held a one-stroke lead after three rounds at Atlanta. But he had four bogeys and a double-bogey in the final round to finish tied for third place.

Betsy King and Sherri Turner shot three-under-par 69s to share the second-round lead in the Rochester International at Pittsford, N.Y., at 139.

Turner birdied three of the last five holes, while King sank eight-foot par putts on her final two holes.

First-round leader Patty Sheehan shot a 73 and dropped back into a tie for second place at 141 with Ayako Okamoto, who had a 72.

Nancy Lopez shot a 69 and was at 142.

Gary Player birdied the first three holes en route to a five-under-par-67 and a one-stroke lead in the first round of the Doug Sanders senior tournament at Houston.

Al Geiberger and Bruce Devlin were tied for second place at 68, and Jim Dent, Charlie Sifford, Larry Mowry and Jim Ferree were another stroke back.
