Golf: Wi grabs share of lead

LAS VEGAS: South Korean Charlie Wi overcame his old fear of the low-scoring typically produced at the Las Vegas Open to charge into a three-way tie for the lead in the second round. The 39-year-old, who has yet to win on the PGA Tour, fired a five-under-par 66 at the TPC Summerlin for a 12-under total of 130 in the first of four Fall Series events on the US circuit. Wi, one of the best putters in the game, racked up six birdies and a lone bogey to join Venezuelan rookie Jhonattan Vegas (67) and American Kevin Na (63) at the top of the leader-board.
