Stricker Sets Record at Colonial

Steve Stricker shot his second straight 63 on Friday. His 14-under 126 total set a new record for 36 holes, as well as for any consecutive rounds at the Crowne Plaza Invitational at the Colonial Country Club.

Even with his record setting pace, it was just enough to keep him atop the leaderboard. Three golfers – Tim Clark, Sean O’Hair and Vijay Singh – shot 64 on Friday. Clark is currently -13, one stroke off the lead with Singh (-12) and O’Hair (-11) following. The conditions were ideal on Friday with soft greens and a light wind.

Stricker is happy about the record but has his eye on the big prize.

“I’d rather have the trophy,” Stricker said. “We’re only halfway through. I’d like to keep making putts. That solves a lot of problems.”
