Kuchar sinks eight birdies to take lead

Matt Kuchar sank eight birdies in a second round 64 to take a two-stroke lead over fellow American Cameron Champ at the Mayakoba Classic in Mexico on Friday.

It was the second consecutive day that Kuchar shot seven under par at the El Camaleon in Playa del Carmen after his bogey-free opening round on Thursday. The seven-times PGA Tour winner’s most impressive shot of the day came on the par-four 12th, where he sank a 19foot putt to limit the damage to a bogey, his only one of the day. (Reuters)
