SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Arron Oberholser is making the most of his home-field advantage. He estimates he has played the Raptor Course at Grayhawk Golf Club 75 times, and his last two rounds were among his best. Oberholser shot a 6-under 64 for an 11-under 129 total and a one-stroke in the fifth of seven stops on the PGA Tour’s Fall Series. Australian Steve Allan, who also lives in Scottsdale, shot a 63 and was one shot behind at 10 under on the sun-baked 7,125-yard desert layout. Brad Elder and George McNeill were 9 under after 63s. Paul Goydos — the 2007 Sony Open champion — sank a 47-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole to highlight an 8-under 62. Goydos was tied with Mathew Goggin, first-round co-leader John Mallinger and Robert Garrigus at 8 under. Kevin Stadler shot a tournament-best 61, but still missed the cut after opening with an 81. Doug LaBelle II, who shared the first-round lead, shot a 72 and was six back at 5-under 135.
