Vegas shoots 62 to lead John Deere Classic
Jhonattan Vegas is feeling it at the John Deere Classic, taking a one-stroke lead after the second round on Friday.
The 34-year-old Venezuelan shot a nine-under 62 in the second round to move into the solo lead at 13 under for the tournament.
He piggy-backed off his first-round 67, during which he had just one blemish on his scorecard with a double bogey on the par-four fifth hole.
On Friday, however, he went mistake-free and carded nine birdies on his way to the top of the leaderboard.
