Byrd holds three shot lead at the AT&T Classic

Jonathan Byrd shot another 66 to take a three shot lead heading into the weekend at the AT&T Classic at TPC Sugarloaf in Georgia.

Byrd only made one bogey in the second round, on the par-5 sixth hole, and dropped seven birdies on the day. He leads Kenny Perry and Ryan Palmer are in second after shooting rounds of 69 each. Charles Howell III, David Toms and Parker McLachlin are in third at eight-under for the tournament.

Outside of the top five golfers, the field is going to have to go low in the third round to make things interesting. Moving day could see defending champion Zach Johnson make his climb into contention. He currently sits in 10th place at five-under, seven shots back. Others to watch are Stewart Cink, John Rollins and Bubba Watson. All have some work to do but could put themselves into the mix with solid rounds.

Rains wash out Sybase Classic

Trying to keep an even level of play, the LPGA declared the second round of the Sybase Classic at Upper Montclair Country Club in New Jersey a washout. The tournament will be reduced to 54-holes and any scores that were under way will be negated. Round two will start tomorrow with the final round on Sunday.

The rare move has not been called since 2005 at the Michelob Ultra Open.

Annika Sorenstam, Rachel Hetherington and Song-Hee Kim are the leaders at five-under par.

Five tied for the lead at the AT&T Classic

Five players are tied for the lead at the AT&T Classic at TPC Sugarloaf. Afternoon rains halted play with 35 players still on the course.

Kenny Perry continues his strong play with a six-under, 66, to join Ryan Palmer, Jonathan Kaye, Jonathan Byrd and Parker McLachlin for the one-shot lead. Three of the leaders - Kaye, Palmer and Perry - were bogey-free for their rounds. Byrd carded eight birdies with a double-bogey on the par-4 seventh hole. McLachlin had his lone bogey on the par-4 13th hole.

There are 19 players in the top 10, with ties. Four players are a shot back, including David Toms, Charles Howell III, Ted Purdy and Bob Sowards. Ten golfers sit two-shots back at four-under par after the first round, including Stewart Cink, Steve Flesch and Camilo Villegas. Defending champion Zach Johnson shot 69 and is tied for 20th at three-under par.

Sorenstam on top at Sybase Classic with Ochoa one back

Annika Sorenstam followed up a busy week with a bogey-free 67 in the first round of the Sybase Classic. She is tied with Rachel Hetherington and Song-Hee Kim at five-under par.

The field is grouped tightly as there are 17 players tied within the top 10. Defending champion Lorena Ochoa leads a group of six golfers one back and eight more players are at three-under, highlighted by Cristie Kerr.

Sorenstam and Kim posted the only bogey-free rounds in the field. Hetherington made six birdies but did have a bogey on the par-3 third hole.
