Paul Goydos shoots 62, leads PGA Tour Champions finale (The Associated Press)

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) -- Paul Goydos shot an 8-under 62 on Friday in windy conditions to take a three-stroke lead in the PGA Tour Champions' season-ending Charles Schwab Cup Championship.

The 52-year-old Goydos holed out from 167 yards for eagle on the par-4 12th and closed with birdies on the par-3 17th and par-5 18th on Desert Mountain Club's Cochise Course.

''It started off hard, it calmed down a little bit as the day progressed,'' Goydos said. ''In tough conditions we need to do good things. I made a bomb on the first hole for birdie, which kind of maybe relaxes you a little bit.
