Bradley, Steele out in front

Keegan Bradley and Brendan Steele moved into the outright lead at the Franklin Templeton Shark Shootout on Saturday.

The American pair impressed with a 10-under 62 in better-ball play at the Tiburon Golf Club in Florida, for an overall score of 19-under through the opening two days.

That means they lead compatriots Mark Calcavecchia and Nick Price by one stroke, who shot a nine-under 63 on day two.

Calcavecchia and Price are both veterans on the over-50 Champions Tour, in stark contrast to the leading duo, who are both PGA Tour rookies.

South African Rory Sabbatini and Venezuelan Jhonattan Vegas could only shoot a five-under 67 on day two, meaning they are two shots behind the leaders.

American Rickie Fowler and Colombian Camilo Villegas are a further shot back at 16-under.

The all-American pairings of Jerry Kelly and Steve Stricker, and Kenny Perry and Scott Stallings, are tied for fifth - four shots off the lead.

The event finishes with a scramble round on Sunday.
