(Reuters) - American Brendan Steele took advantage of relatively calm conditions at one of his favorite venues to seize a three-shot lead midway through the second round of the weather-disrupted Texas Open in San Antonio on Friday.
Steele, the 2011 champion, mixed six birdies with two bogeys and a double at the par-four 15th to card two-under 70 on the rain-softened Oaks layout at TPC San Antonio.
In pursuit of his second career win on the PGA Tour, Steele posted a 10-under total of 134 to match the tournament's 36-hole low set by compatriot Ben Curtis in 2012.
