Silvis, Ill. ? J.P. Hayes shot a course-record 10-under-par 61 on Friday for a share of the second-round lead with Fred Funk in the John Deere Classic.

“It was a lot of fun,” Hayes said after the lowest round of his PGA Tour career. “I felt like I was going to play well, but you never expect something like that. The putter was the difference.”

Hayes broke the TPC of Deere Run record of 62 shared by Kirk Triplett, David Frost and Pat Bates. Triplett and Frost shot their 62s in 2000, the first year the event was played on the course, and Bates matched the mark Friday.

Funk, coming off a second-place finish last week in the B.C. Open, shot his second straight 64 to match Hayes at 14 under.

“I feel really good mainly coming off such a good week last week,” said Funk, winless since the 1998 Deposit Guaranty Golf Classic. “I really am hungry for a win and I want it really bad. I don’t want it too bad that I’m going to get in my own way.”

Robert Gamez was a stroke back after a 64, and 2001 runner-up Briny Baird (64) and Nolan Henke (65) followed at 11 under. Bates joined first-round leader Mike Heinen (69) in a five-player group at 10 under, and B.C. Open winner Spike McRoy (67) was 9 under.
