Casey gets himself into position as the
Paul Casey fired a seven-under-par 64 to take a share of the halfway lead before play was suspended on day two of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-am in California.
Playing on the Monterey Peninsula course, Casey got to 10-under and joined five-time major champion Phil Mickelson, Lucas Glover, and first-round leader Scott Langley, at the top of the leaderboard.
The Englishman produced a blemish-free round, picking up five birdies and an eagle on the par-five 16th, after a first-round 69 at Pebble Beach.
“I’m so happy to get done,” Casey said after firing the low score on Friday.
“We were on the last hole and I heard that horn go. And then there was a second one and then a third one.
“I had to think for a minute because you get one long blast, you’re done. But the three means, I guess, it’s bad conditions but you can finish the hole. I’m like, ‘ We can finish the hole?’
“I’ve never been so happy. I went from upset to happy in an instant.”
Mickelson, starting on the back nine at Spyglass Hill, shot a 68 and closed out with a birdie on the parfour ninth after a run of three bogeys.
Former world No. 1 and threetime major winner Jordan Spieth also sits at 10-under but was forced off the Spyglass Hill course after 16 holes due to rain.
