Janzen leads the line

America's Lee Janzen shot a spectacular seven-under-par 65 to take the lead after the second round of the Mercedes Championship in Carlsbad, California. Janzen lies one stroke ahead of fellow American Mark O'Meara, while first-round leader Corey Pavin joined Jim Gallagher and Scott Hoch two strokes back. Pavin completed 72 consecutive holes without dropping a shot before his amazing run came to an end with a double bogey at the par-four 10th. It was his first blemish since he bogeyed the ninth during the second round in the Million Dollar Challenge in South Africa, which he won last month. The Open champion, John Daly, continued his poor run of form with a 75 for seven-over 151 that left him last by two strokes in the 30-man field. Daly finished last by 23 strokes in his last tournament, the Johnnie Walker World Championship in Jamaica three weeks ago.
