MILWAUKEE -- Corey Pavin waited, watched and slept. The hardest part for him was simply wasting time.
Pavin maintained a one-shot lead over Jason Bohn in the hot and humid U.S. Bank Championship Friday, but still had work to do in the second round today.
Pavin, who opened with a 9-under 61 on Thursday, was 12 under with seven holes left when play was suspended because of darkness.
"I'm ready for dinner, that's for sure," the 46-year-old Pavin said. "The hardest thing is just wasting time until you tee off."
Bohn was 11 under after playing 35 holes Friday. He shot a 65 in the first round and added a 64 in the second on the Brown Deer Park course.
In contention
Jeff Sluman (65), B.J. Trahan (65), Jerry Kelly (67), Nathan Green (64) and Arjun Atwal were 9 under. Atwal had seven holes left in the second round.
Exactly half the players, 78, were unable to complete the round.
Bohn had already played 33 holes before finding enough energy to finish his round with back-to-back birdies, including a sand save on No. 18 as the temperature reached 90 degrees with a heat index of 96.
"It was 35 holes of long, hot golf," Bohn said. "I can't tell you how many bottles of water I drank today. It never seemed like it was enough."
Bohn, who will make his 14th straight cut with the line projected at 2 under, birdied the 17th hole after a perfect shot into the fairway and dropped a 144-yard shot within 6 feet.
He caused himself trouble on the par-5 18th hole, firing his second shot, a 3-wood, into the right front bunker. But he rolled his sand shot to about 5 feet and made the short putt to close the round.
"I feel like I am very close," Bohn said. "I am waiting for that tournament when I put four consecutive rounds together."
Evian Masters
EVIAN, France -- Michelle Wie shot a 2-under 70 on Friday to drop a stroke behind leader Karrie Webb after the third round.
Wie, the 16-year-old from Hawaii who is in position to make a serious run at her first victory as a professional, had four birdies and two bogeys.
Webb shot a 69 for a 12-under 204 total.
Laura Davies (67) and Se Ri Pak (70) were two strokes back at 10 under and Lorena Ochoa (73), Mi Hyun Kim (71) and Jeong Jang (68) followed at 8 under. Annika Sorenstam was five strokes back at 7 under after a 71.
Senior British Open
TURNBERRY, Scotland -- Eduardo Romero closed with an eagle and a birdie for a 7-under 63 and a share of the second-round lead with Loren Roberts.
After what he described as the longest drive of his career, a 379-yarder at the par-5 17th, Romero's blind pitch put him within 4 feet of the hole for an eagle. He added a 2-foot birdie putt on No. 18 to join Roberts (65) at 10 under.
Craig Stadler (66) was a stroke back.
Deutsche Bank Players' Championship
ALVESLOHE, Germany -- Sweden's Robert Karlsson shot a 6-under 66 to take a one-stroke lead after the second round.
