Reno (United States) (AFP) - Andres Gonzales vaulted into a share of the lead with fellow American Brendan Steele after a 21-point second round at the PGA Barracuda Championship.

Gonzales rolled in 11 birdies and had a bogey and matched Steele's 26 points after 36 holes in the unique tournament, which features a Modified Stableford scoring system assigning point values to shots rather than registering a score relative to par.
