Fish Leads Tahoe; Barkley Trails
John Daly and Charles Barkley, the two celebrities in the American Century Championship field, ended Friday’s second round with contrasting fortunes.
Daly, the long-hitting former major champion known as “Long John,” shot a 9-under 63 to take a two-stroke lead over the field at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course.
Barkley, the Hall of Fame basketball player, struggled to a 77 and is tied for 52nd among the 87-man field.
Daly, 56, has never won the American Century Championship, but he has been a fan favorite for years. He is known for his colorful personality and his ability to hit the ball a long way.
Barkley, 59, is a first-time participant in the American Century Championship. He is a avid golfer, but he is not known for his skills on the course.
