AKRON, Ohio (Reuters) - American veteran Jim Furyk birdied three of his last five holes in firm conditions at Firestone Country Club to charge to a five-shot clubhouse lead in the second round of the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational on Friday.

Though Furyk bogeyed his final hole after hitting his approach into a bunker, a second successive 66 gave him a commanding advantage over his closest challengers as he posted an eight-under 132 total.
