Ben Crenshaw smiled as he shot a bogey free 68 at Hawthorn Woods in thin air after weeks without a win since the 1988 Doral Open. He cited improved play around the greens and an old sand wedge as keys to the round.
PGA notes Crenshaw plans to send a letter protesting a rule banning certain putter grips starting Jan 1. He uses a waist shaped grip used on tour for about 20 years and will try new grips while awaiting outcome. Mark O'Meara scored the year's first tour hole in one at No. 3. Local columnist David Ogrin endured a quadruple bogey on 11 and finished 5 over 77. Emil Esposito shot 87 and John Traub 92. Mark McCumber saved par from a bunker after a mis played tee shot on the par-3 12th.
Dave Rummells fired a 2-under 34 on the front nine to join Mike Reid and Leonard Thompson atop the late second round of the PGA Championship at Kemper Lakes. Arnold Palmer electrified a big gallery with a 4-under 68 and stood at 5-under early, with Nicklaus, Price, Purtzer and Armour close behind as weather potential thunderstorms hung over the course.
Arnold Palmer, 59, shoots 4 under 68 at the 71st PGA Championship to sit two off the lead, first time his name appears on the leaderboard in a major in years. He strings five straight birdies, bogeys late, draws cheers at 18, and stays hopeful despite a possible repeat of past form. Jeff Sluman, 31, defends with a 75 and watches Palmer's surge with mixed enthusiasm.
Cubs rally for 13 runs but Philadelphia bats explode as Ryne Sandberg drives in four and homers twice while John Kruk, Dwight Smith, and Shawon Dunston each notch four hits. Jeff Parrett wins for Phillies. Steve Wilson absorbs the loss after a rough stretch in the seventh.
Nolan Ryan pitched the Texas Rangers to a 4-1 win over the Detroit Tigers, coming within two outs of a no hitter. He carried a 13 strikeouts game but allowed a ninth inning single to Dave Bergman, ending his bid for a sixth career no hitter.
