English, Kuchar seize lead in Shootout with 66

NAPLES, Fla. -- Harris English and Matt Kuchar shot a 6-under 66 in modified alternate shot play Friday to take the second-round lead in the Franklin Templeton Shootout.

English and Kuchar were at 21 under at Tiburon after opening with a 57 on Thursday in the scramble round. They won in 2013 in their first start together and finished second the last two years.

Wisconsin friends Steve Stricker and Jerry Kelly were a stroke back entering the better-ball finale Saturday. They shot 68. The 49-year-old Stricker is teaming with the 50-year-old Kelly for the record eighth time.
