Leading ClubCorp Classic, Steven Alker in position for second straight win

IRVING, Texas — Steven Alker moved into position for his second straight PGA Tour Champions victory Saturday, shooting a 5-under 66 in windy conditions to take a two-stroke lead in the ClubCorp Classic.

The winner three weeks ago in the Rapiscan Systems Classic in Mississippi, Alker played the four par-5 holes in 4 under with an eagle on No. 3 and birdies on 10 and 18. The 50-year-old New Zealander had an 8-under 134 total at Las Colinas Country Club.

“It was a little bit topsy-turvy actually,” Aljer said. “I struggled in the middle a little bit today, but my short game held me in there.
