        POTOMAC, Md. — Greg Norman, winless on the PGA Tour since 1997, shot a bogey-free 6-under-par 65 Friday to take a two-stroke lead after the second round of the Kemper Insurance Open.

        The 47-year-old Australian had a spring in his step, nearly sprinting at one point as he headed to the 17th green after putting his tee shot 2 feet from the pin at the par-3 hole. He made the birdie putt, his second in a row, as he kept the momentum from Thursday's 67 to move to 10-under 132.

        Norman is trying to become the oldest player to win a PGA Tour event since Tom Watson took the Colonial at age 48 three years ago.

        Craig Barlow (67), Bob Estes (69), Willie Wood (68) and Bob Burns (66) were two shots back. Estes was 11 under after an eagle at No. 13, but lost three strokes on Nos. 16 and 17.

        Kellogg-Keebler Classic

        AURORA, Ill. — With visions of another 59 dancing through her mind, Annika Sorenstam settled for a 63 and the first-round lead in the inaugural Kellogg-Keebler Classic.

        Sorenstam, rested and ready to play again after taking last week off, finished at 9 under on the Stonebridge Country Club course, one stroke better than Michele Redman.

        Danielle Ammaccapane and Jackie Gallagher-Smith were another stroke back at 65, and Suzanne Strudwick and Carri Wood shot 66s. Rookie Beth Bauer and veteran Jan Stephenson were in a group at 67.

        Sorenstam, seeking her fourth tour victory of the year, birdied seven of the first eight holes and eight of the first 10.

        At that point, the Swedish star was on track to match — or perhaps top — her LPGA record 59 at Moon Valley in Phoenix last year. But she had only two birdies the rest of the way and three-putted for a bogey on 17.

        NFL Golf Classic

        CLIFTON, N.J. — Monday qualifier James Mason shot a 7-under 65 to take a one-stroke over Dave Eichelberger after the first round of the NFL Golf Classic.

        John Bland opened with a 67 on the tree-lined Upper Montclair Country Club course, and Jay Sigel, coming off a victory Sunday in the Farmers Charity Classic, joined Dave Barr at 68.

        Mason had eight birdies and one bogey in posting his best round in a senior tour event. On Monday, he shot 67 at Green Brook to grab one of the four spots left in the field of 78.

        British Masters

        WOBURN, England — Wales' Phillip Price shot a 7-under 65 to take a two-stroke lead over England's Ian Poulter after the second round of the British Masters.

        Price had an 11-under 133 total on Woburn's Marquess Course. Poulter shot a 67. England's Philip Golding (67) was three strokes back, and Scotland's Sandy Lyle (65) topped a group at 137.
