Norman Is Flying High With Eagle

Greg Norman followed his opening-round 67 with a four-under-par 68 Friday for a three-stroke lead in the $650,000 Canadian Open.

The 30-year-old defending champion from Australia chipped in a 21-footer for an eagle on the 516-yard, par-five 16th hole en route to a 135 total on the 7,102-yard Glen Abbey course at Oakville, Ontario.

Curtis Strange and Larry Mize were tied for second at 138. Mize shot a 66, while Strange had his second straight 69.

Some of the game’s top attractions had their difficulties, however.

PGA champion Lee Trevino, a three-time Canadian Open winner, had a second 75 and failed to qualify.

Johnny Miller, one stroke off the lead after the first day’s play, fell back with a 75 and was at 143. Jack Nicklaus was also at 143 after a 73 that included four bogeys.

Don January shot a course-record eight-under-par 64 at White Sulphur Springs, W. Va., to take the lead after two rounds of the $200,000 Greenbrier Seniors tournament.

January had nine birdies and one bogey on the 6,709-yard The Greenbrier Course. His total of 134 gave him a one-stroke lead over Harold Henning, the first-round leader.

The previous course record, a 67, was set by Barney Thompson in 1978 and tied Thursday by Henning. Henning shot a 68 Friday.

At Sugar Land, Tex., Amy Alcott shot a four-under-par 68 to extend her lead to four shots in the $300,000 Hall of Fame tournament.

Alcott birdied five of the last six holes en route to her 36-hole total of 137.

Nancy Lopez was in second place at 141 after firing a second-round 70. JoAnne Carner carded a 70 and was third at 142.

Mary Beth Zimmerman, who was six over par in the opening round, shot a course-record 66 and pulled into contention at 144.

Severiano Ballesteros shot a three-under-par 68 for a one-stroke lead over Briton Carl Mason at the halfway mark of the $100,000 French Open.

The 28-year-old Spaniard has a total of 130 over the 6,022-yard St. Germain-en-Laye course. Mason fired a 64.
