Australian Nick Flanagan fired a 7-under 63 to surge into a tie for the lead with Sweden's Richard Johnson on Friday after two rounds of the PGA Tour's U.S. Bank Championship in Milwaukee.

Flanagan and Johnson were tied at 10-under-par 130, one stroke better than American Kent Jones and Australian Gavin Coles, who had eight birdies in a bogey-free round of 62 for his low round on the U.S. Tour.

Jon Mills of Oshawa, Ont., shot his second straight 2-under 68 and is tied for 35th.

Kenny Perry was back to worrying about golf Thursday after choosing to play in the US Bank Championship instead of golf's oldest major.

"It's nice to get back in my office," said Perry, who shot 3-under 67 in the opening round. "It's nice to get back where I don't have to listen to all that baloney."

Perry finally found some peace at Brown Deer Park Golf Course, after several days of harsh criticism from players and the media over his decision to honor a commitment and play in Milwaukee instead of the British Open.

In some ways, it wound up being a wise decision.

Brutal wind and rain greeted the opening round at Royal Birkdale, driving scores into the 80s for many notable players.

Richard S. Johnson, a close friend of Deane and Brenden Pappas, wondered if brothers had ever shared the lead in a PGA Tour event.

As far as Tour officials knew, the answer was no.

"Sorry," Johnson said sheepishly.

Sweden's Richard S. Johnson birdied three of the last four holes on Sunday to claim a one-shot victory in the U.S. Bank Championship in Milwaukee for his first win on the PGA Tour.

Johnson's sizzling finish gave him a six-under-par 64 for a 16-under-par 264 total at Brown Deer Park golf course.

American Ken Duke shot 65 for 265 to finish second.

The victory provided Johnson, ranked 612th in the world, a top prize of $720,000. The 31-year-old Swede, who had missed eight of 11 cuts this season, had earned just $48,000 on tour coming into the event.

"It's just amazing," he told reporters about notching his first U.S. Tour title.

Tied for third at 267 were Americans Dean Wilson (65), Chad Campbell (65) and Chris Riley (66).

Johnson, who scored an ace on Thursday to lead after the opening round with a 63 and also shared the 36-hole lead, got off to a bumpy start with bogeys at the second and fourth holes.
