ORLANDO, Fla. -- Lucas Glover might wish the PGA Tour came to Orlando more often.
Five months after a stunning victory down the road at Disney, Glover surged into the lead Friday at the Bay Hill Invitational with birdies on two of his last three holes for his second straight 5-under 67 and a one-shot lead over Robert Allenby and Rod Pampling.
Halfway through a sun-baked tournament, Glover has a chance to join some elite company. Tiger Woods and the late Payne Stewart are the only players to win individual titles at both Orlando events on the PGA Tour, and Woods is the only player to win them consecutively.
Glover, a 26-year-old from South Carolina, can't explain his success in these parts. He only hopes it continues.
"I think Tiger even said it -- if you're playing well, you don't mind where you're playing," said Glover, who was at 10-under 134 on a Bay Hill Club course that was getting firmer and tougher.
Scores remained bunched, with more than a dozen players within five shots of the lead going into the weekend.
LPGA Tour
SUPERSTITION MOUNTAIN, Ariz. -- Sarah Lee waited until the last moment to grab the second-round lead in the Safeway International.
With shadows falling on the Superstition Mountain Golf and Country Club, Lee eagled the 513-yard, par-5 18th hole to finish 12 under and grab a 1-stroke lead over Aree Song. Paula Creamer, the 2005 LPGA Rookie of the Year, and Suzann Pettersen were tied for third, two strokes back.
Lee, a South Korean in her fifth year on tour, has never won an LPGA event. But she thinks she's playing well enough to break through.
"If I hit it like this, yes I am," said Lee, who has shot a 65 and 67 in the first two rounds on the Prospector Course.
Lee opened the day one shot behind Song, then was in jeopardy of falling out of contention when she double-bogeyed the par-4 3rd hole to fall to 6 under.
"I think I was kind of rushed," she said. "After the third hole, I just slowed down and tried to find my rhythm."
Lee recovered to birdie the par-4 5th hole. She reeled off birdies on the par-4 14th, the par-4 15th and the par-3 17th.
That set the stage for Lee's stunning eagle. The Safeway International drew an event-record 35,900 fans Friday, but only a handful were still on the premises when Lee jumped into the lead.
Champions Tour
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. -- Bob Eastwood shot a 6-under par 65 to take the first-round lead at the Toshiba Classi with Graham Marsh and Bruce Lietzke a stroke behind.
Eastwood had seven birdies, including a chip-in from 12 feet in front of the green on the final hole at Newport Beach Country Club to break a three-way tie.
"I hit some good shots out there, but I missed some makeable putts," Eastwood said. "Not to be greedy or anything, but I could have been a couple of strokes lower."
