Golf-Rumford holds on to lead at Super 6 event in Perth

PERTH, Feb 17 (Reuters) - Brett Rumford held on to the lead at the inaugural World Super 6 golf tournament in Perth on Friday, taking a two-stroke advantage into the weekend.

Rumford, a native of Perth, rolled in eight birdies, including five straight from the sixth hole, and a lone bogey to finish his round at a seven-under-par 63. That put him at 13 under for the tournament after his opening-round 66 at the Lake Karrinyup Country Club.

David Bransdon fired a 64 to come in at 11 under, a stroke ahead of Steven Jeffress at third.
