faxon takes ‘shortcut’
�key hole the par- 4 17th.
with playing companion
eduardo romero in the lead,
faxon moved to the front saturday when romero double-bogeyed the 382-yarder and
�noteworthy michael
allen had a three-shot lead
after an opening 63, but his
second-round 79 dropped
him to t- 24. … faxon is the
first player since leonard
thompson in 1998 to win
a 36-hole tournament that
was declared official because of bad weather.
