NORTON -- Australian Tour rookie Marc Leishman turned in the round of the day so far, a 9-under 62, today in the second round of the Deutsche Bank Championship at TPC Boston.

Leishman briefly held the clubhouse lead until the tournament's most formidable threesome signed their cards. Sean O'Hair, first round co-leader Jim Furyk, and Retief Goosen stormed through the Norton woods in a combined 15 under, highlighted by O'Hair's 64, which got him into an early tie at the top with Furyk (63-67) at 12 under.

Goosen shot 67 to tie Leishman for third at 10 under.

"The other two guys are playing so well it felt like I was shooting 80 at one stage," Goosen said.

In breaking news, Kevin Stadler snapped an iron after his approach on his penultimate hole, the eighth, then ditched it into the woods. The son of the Walrus shot 1-under 70 and is 1-over total. The projected cut is even par.
