Fort Worth, Texas ? Phil Mickelson is carrying five different wedges in his bag at the Crowne Plaza Invitational. He’s used every one of them – very effectively. Along with his putter.

Mickelson had 11 one-putts and converted all six sand saves in a 2-under 68 in the second round Friday to take the lead at 7-under 133. The world’s No. 2-ranked player led Matt Kuchar (64), Brian Gay (65) and Johnson Wagner (71) by one stroke.

“It was probably the best putting round I’ve had all year,” said Mickelson, who needed only 25 putts.

Ammaccapane leads

Corning, N.Y. – Dina Ammaccapane, who had six birdies and three bogeys, shot her second straight 69 Friday to gain a one-stroke lead after the second round of the LPGA Corning Classic.

First-round leader Erica Blasberg (74), Janice Moodie (68), Wendy Ward (70) and Katie Futcher (69) were one shot back.
