A string of four birdies over five holes to open the back nine propelled American Justin Lower to a 65, matching his round from the previous day and giving him a two-stroke lead through two rounds at Bermuda Championship,

Andrew Novak also shot a 62 on a day when the wind became ferocious toward the end of the round at Port Royal, with gusts topping 40 mph. Novak caught a break on the 18th when his tee shot was rolling back down a cart path and hopped onto the grass.

Hayden Springer, who came to Bermuda at No. 125 in the FedEx Cup, shot a 6-under 65 for a share of the lead at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship.

Former Northwest High School and Malone University golfer Justin Lower is one shot back going into the final round of the PGA Tour's Bermuda event.
