BETHESDA, Md. (AP) -- Tom Pernice Jr. was easy to ignore Saturday in the AT&T National until he wound up in the lead.
All he did was make 15 pars on an explosive afternoon of birdies and bogeys at Congressional, and his lone complaint was that he made only two putts longer than his shadow. One was from 4 feet for par, another from 7 feet for birdie.
But it was that steady hand that gave him a 1-under 69 and a one-shot lead over Steve Stricker, leaving the 48-year-old Pernice optimistic about winning for the first time in seven years.
