Three share midway lead at Byron Nelson

IRVING, Texas (AP) — Texan Jimmy Walker, Dallas-area resident Steven Bowditch and PGA Tour rookie Jon Curran are still the leaders after the completed second round at the AT&T Byron Nelson.

Tony Finau and Joe Affrunti had a birdie apiece early Saturday to join a group at 8 under, a shot behind a leading trio that was finished before play was suspended by darkness Friday. Hometown star Jordan Spieth is three shots back.

With rain finally out of the forecast after three-hour delays at the start of consecutive days, threesomes went off the first and 10th tees early in the afternoon at the TPC Four Seasons.

The par-4 14th will be shortened to a par 3 again because of an unplayable fairway, reducing par to 69 for the second straight round.
