Endicott, NY (Sports Network) - Brett Quigley fired a 10-under 62 Friday to grab a three-shot lead at 15-under 129 after 36 holes of the B.C. Open.
The 62 missed the course record at En-Joie Golf Club by one shot, as Hal Sutton posted a 61 in 1995 and Fred Funk matched the record four years later. Quigley's 129 also missed Joey Sindelar's 1987 36-hole record by one shot.
Mark Hensby and Jonathan Kaye share second at 12-under par, while Jim McGovern and first-round co-leader Edward Fryatt are knotted in fourth at minus-11.
The other first-round co-leader, Ty Tryon, a 17-year-old amateur who will be entering his junior year of high school in the fall, struggled to an even-par 72 Friday and fell into a tie for 19th at seven-under par.
"I showed some stupidness out there," Tryon said. "I'm not mad or angry. I'm a little disappointed. It's just the way it goes. I go out there and birdie the first hole tomorrow and I'm right there."
Quigley used a sensational run at the end of his round to climb into the lead. He made a pair of birdies at 14 and 15, before he drove the green at the 321- yard, par-four 16th and rolled home the 35-foot eagle putt to move to 14- under.
He made another 35-foot birdie putt at 17, then saved par with a great bunker shot at 18 to hang on for his 62.
"I never thought I'd shoot a 62 with two bogeys," said Quigley, who won the Buy.com Arkansas Classic in late April of this year. "It was a great day to play today. There was no wind and it was like playing in a bubble."
Tryon had three birdies and three bogeys on Friday, but missed four putts from inside five feet and hit only 12 greens in regulation.
Tryon is now 2-for-2 in PGA Tour cuts made, as he also qualified for weekend play at the Honda Classic and tied for 39th.
