BARBASOL CHAMPIONSHIP

OPELIKA, ALA.

Australia’s Mark Hensby birdied three of the final four holes Friday for a 7-under 64 and a share of the second-round lead in the inaugural Barbasol Championship. Hensby matched South Korea’s Whee Kim at 9-under 133 on Grand National’s Lake Course in the PGA Tour event for players who failed to qualify for the British Open. The 43-year-old Hensby won the 2004 John Deere Classic for his lone PGA Tour title. Kim shot a 66. He’s playing his 19th event in his rookie season on the PGA Tour. Argentina’s Emiliano Grillo, the highest-ranked player in the field at No. 98, shot a 66 to join first-round leader Sam Saunders and Charlie Beljan at 8 under. Saunders, Arnold Palmer’s grandson, followed his opening 64 with a 70, and Beljan had a 64. David Toms topped the group at 7 under after a 66.

MARATHON CLASSIC

SYLVANIA

South Korea’s Ha Na Jang shot a 4-under 67 on Friday to increase her lead to two strokes in the suspended second round. Jang had a 9-under 133 total at Highland Meadows. Winless in 23 career tour events, she capped her bogey-free round with a 12-foot birdie putt on the par-4 ninth. South Korea’s Q Baek was second after a 67. The start of the round was delayed 2 1/2 hours because of rain and lightning, and play was suspended for the day at 8 p.m. because of more lightning. Fifty-four players were unable to complete the round. Baek had five birdies, making four in a row on Nos. 18-3, and one bogey. Shanshan Feng, Sarah Kemp and Dewi Claire Schreefel were tied for third at 6 under. Feng shot a 67, Kemp had a 69, and Schreefel a 68. Moriya Jutanugarn, Caroline Masson, Angela Stanford and Gerina Piller were 5 under.

AMERICAN CENTURY CHAMPIONSHIP

STATELINE, NEV.

Actor Jack Wagner and former pitcher Mark Mulder share the first-round lead Friday in the American Century Championship at Edgewood Tahoe. Wagner and Mulder each had 26 points in the modified Stableford scoring system. Players receive six points for eagle, three for birdie, one for par, none for bogey and minus-2 for double bogey or worse. Wagner, the 2006 and 2011 winner, had four birdies in his bogey-free round. “We don’t do this for a living, so if I could have two more 68s right now, I’d take them and take my chances,” Wagner said. Four-time champion Billy Joe Tolliver was third with 25 points. Defending champion Mark Rypien had 10. Charles Barkley was 90th in the 91-player field at minus-28. Kim Alexis was last at minus-34.
