HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. (AP) -- Defending champion Boo Weekley
continued his remarkable run at Harbour Town Golf Links, using a
stretch of five straight birdies to move in front today in the
Verizon Heritage.
Weekley shot a 6-under 65 to reach 15 under and move three
strokes ahead of Anthony Kim and five in front of Aaron Baddeley,
Jason Bohn and Cliff Kresge. Second-round leader Lucas Glover shot a 73 to drop seven shots back.
Weekley chipped in on the 71st and 72nd holes a year ago to beat
Ernie Els for his first PGA Tour victory. He now has a string of
seven straight rounds in the 60s, tying Greg Norman for second
all-time at Harbour Town behind Nick Price's nine in a row.
