Parry Takes Two-Shot Lead in Colonial

Craig Parry had five birdies in a six-hole stretch on the way to a 65, which gave him a nine-under-par 131 and a two-shot lead Friday halfway through the Colonial National Invitation golf tournament at Ft. Worth.

Lennie Clements was second at 133 after a 69. Jeff Maggert, who had a hole in one in his round of 68, was next at 134, and Tom Lehman followed at 135 after a 68.

A late-morning wind hardened and quickened greens, plaguing golfers who didn’t have early tee times, such as John Daly, who went from an opening-round 71 to a 77 and missed the cut, and Clark Dennis, who had shared the first-round lead with Clements at 64, but shot a 74 Friday.
