(Reuters) - Former Deutsche Bank Championship winner Charley Hoffman vaulted to the lead at the second FedExCup playoff event with an eight-under-par 63 in the second round on Saturday.
The 2010 champion posted a 12-under 130 total at TPC Boston, good for a three-stroke lead over Brendon de Jonge of Zimbabwe with half the field back in the clubhouse.
“This is one of those courses that when you get up on the tees it sets up well visually for me,” American Hoffman said. “I also tend to make a few more putts on these greens.
“I’m in a nice position after two days, but obviously we have a lot of golf left.
