Calc eagles the last to share lead

Calcavecchia shot a five-under-par 67 at TPC Snoqualmie Ridge to take his total to seven under for the tournament after two rounds of the 54-hole event inWashington.

He's tied with three others at the top - Kenny Perry (68), Russ Cochran (71) and Jeff Sluman (70) - and the quartet are two shots clear of Bob Gilder, Chien Soon Lu and Chip Beck, who all shot 69s on the day.

Nick Price ofZimbabwelies three shots back on four under after a 69, while Bernhard Langer lies on three under after a second-round 73.

Presidents Cup captain Fred Couples, fresh off his Senior Players Championship victory in New York last week, shot a 69 to lie on two under.

Calcavecchia is a 13-time winner on the PGA Tour, but in 30 starts in two seasons on the Champions Tour he has yet to taste victory.

He started shakily on Saturday, bogeying the third before four staight pars, but then made his first birdie of the day at the par-five eighth.( PING G20 Irons)


It was his back nine, however, where he really came alive, rattling off birdies at 12, 14 and 17, before the eagle at the 18th.

"Pretty much my whole day was the last couple holes," he added. "Nothing was happening for me on the front but I was being careful."

Perry equalled Calcavecchia's eagle at 18, holing out from a bunker and making up for the double-bogey he suffered at the 14th when he overcooked his wedge approach shot and hit it over the back of the green.

"It's a 30-foot face bunker, green sloping away from you and it takes two hops and (like) Michael Jordan, just dunks."

Cochran, last month's Senior British Open champion when he triumphed by two strokes over Calcavecchia, started the day tied for the lead with Sluman, and looked set to retain sole possession of the lead before a bogey at 17 dropped him back to seven under.

"I have to play PING G20 Irons better tomorrow," Cochran said. "There's a couple guys out there who are used to winning that haven't won on the Champions Tour that are really going to go after it. If I don't go after it, I'm going to be left behind."
