Eric Axley shot a bogey-free 7-under 63 yesterday for a share of the second-round lead with D.A. Points in the Texas Open in San Antonio.

Points had a 66 to match Axley at 9-under 131 on the LaCantera Golf Club's Resort Course. Paul Goydos was another stroke back after a 63.

Axley, a 32-year-old left-hander who lives in Knoxville, Tenn., missed one green in regulation on each side and was perfect finding fairways off the tee on the front side before missing two on the back. The 63 was the best round of his PGA Tour career.

He had four birdies on Nos. 7-11 and one more the rest of the way in.

Points, also seeking his first PGA Tour victory, began play a stroke behind first-round leader Alex Cejka and Justin Rose, but dropped three shots with a double bogey and bogey on his first three holes before rallying with six birdies in the next 10.

LPGA Tour

Karrie Webb moved into contention for her fourth LPGA Tour victory of the year, shooting a 2-under 70 in windy conditions yesterday for a share of the second-round lead with Jeong Jang in the Longs Drugs Challenge in Danville, Calif.

Jang followed her course-record 64 on Thursday with a 73 to match Webb at 7-under 137 on the Blackhawk Country Club's hilly, twisting Lakeside course.
