FORT WORTH, Texas

Bryce Molder shot a career-best 8-under 62 on Friday to get to 13 under for a one-stroke lead at the Colonial, over first-round co-leader Jason Bohn (65). Kris Blanks (64) and Brian Davis (65) were two strokes back, one ahead of Boo Weekley (63) and Jeff Overton (67).

Phil Mickelson would have overtaken Tiger Woods for the No. 1 spot in the world ranking with a win at Colonial, but instead had consecutive over-par rounds.

Mickelson shot a 73 on Friday, when he had consecutive bogeys early and then three more in a row after his last birdie, to finish 4 over on the course where Lefty won in last appearance two years ago.

Mickelson won’t be at Hogan’s Alley for the Colonial’s second “Pink Out” today, when most players along with PGA Tour and tournament officials are expected to wear pink. New this year, donations are being made for each birdie and eagle made during the third round.

PARKER, Colo.

Fred Couples shot a 4-under 68 to take the lead at the Senior PGA Championship, one stroke ahead of Tom Kite at the Colorado Golf Club.

Couples was at 7 under for the tournament after the best round of the day, despite teeing off in the afternoon, when the wind picked up after a morning lull.

Kite shot a second-round 69, with Tom Lehman another stroke back after a 71. Lu Chief-soon (70) and Jay Don Blake (69) are tied for fourth, three shots back.

Bernhard Langer, the co-leader along with Robin Freeman after the first round, was making an impressive charge on the back nine until a double-bogey on No. 17 and a bogey on 18 left him with a 3-over 75, same as Freeman. They are tied with Nick Price (71), four shots off the pace.
