SAUCIER, Mississippi (AP)\u2014Tom Lehman<\/a> broke a course record with a 8-under 64
\non Saturday to take a one-stroke lead over Jeff Sluman<\/a> after the second round of
\nthe Mississippi Gulf Resort Classic at Fallen Oak.<\/p>\n

Lehman birdied five straight holes on the back nine, starting with a 35-foot
\nputt on No. 12, to charge up the leaderboard after a slow start. Then on No. 18,
\nhe chipped in from the bunker for his sixth birdie in seven holes. He\u2019s 13 under
\nfor the tournament.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had a perfect lie in the bunker and all kinds of green to work with\u2014
\nkind of down the hill to the hole,\u201d Lehman said. \u201cIt was one of the easier
\nbunker shots you\u2019re ever going to get, and it went in.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sluman shot a bogey-free 66 for the second straight day, getting off to a
\ngood start with an eagle on the first hole. After a good drive, he drilled a
\nnearly perfect approach with his 3-iron to within an inch, almost making the
\nfirst double eagle of his career.<\/p>\n

David Frost<\/a> is in third after shooting 67, and
\nis four shots behind Lehman for the tournament. Six other players are tied for
\nfourth at 7 under.<\/p>\n

\u201cGood scores always sneak up on you,\u201d Lehman said. \u201cYou just get in that
\ngroove where you\u2019re playing good golf and just trying to make birdies.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sluman, who started Saturday\u2019s round with a one-stroke lead, has just one
\nbogey over his last 84 holes, and has shot par or better in 23 straight rounds
\ndating back to last season.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m hitting the ball extremely well,\u201d Sluman said. \u201cI don\u2019t really judge
\nit or measure it by anything. I just know I feel pretty comfortable over the
\nball.\u201d<\/p>\n

But it wasn\u2019t enough to keep pace with Lehman, who leads the Charles Schwab
\nCup standings and won the Allianz Championship in February. The final threesome
\nof Lehman, Sluman and David Frost shot a combined 19 under for the day.<\/p>\n

Lehman said the early pressure from Sluman and Frost helped spur his good
\nplay. The three will be together again for Sunday\u2019s final round.<\/p>\n

Tom Kite<\/a> needed a par on the final hole to shoot 7 under for the day, but
\ninstead made double bogey after driving into a sand trap and hitting the next
\nshot into the spectator area lining the right side of the fairway.<\/p>\n

Kite finished with a 67, but is still well behind the leaders at 3 under for
\nthe tournament. He also missed short birdie putts on the 16th and 17th holes,
\nadding to the frustration.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n
