RALEIGH, N.C. -- England's Greg Owen fired a 3-under 68 Friday to take the halfway lead at the Rex Hospital Open at the TPC Wakefield Plantation. His 9-under-par 133 total leads by one stroke over Georgia's Jonathan Fricke.
"It's where you want to be," said Owen, who has held at least a share of the lead four times this year.
Owen started his round on No. 10 and got to 9-under after 13 holes. A double bogey at the par-3 seventh hole could have derailed his round but he closed with a pair of birdies and increased his sub-par rounds this year to 21 out of 28 rounds.
