Fred Funk leads US Senior Open
Difficult pin placements and faster, drier greens flustered the field in the U.S. Senior Open and only five golfers managed to shoot below par, including Fred Funk, whose one-under 69 gave him the lead at the halfway point at Colorado Springs, Colo., on Friday.
Funk's two-day score of six-under 134 is two shots ahead of Eduardo Romero (69) and four ahead of Mark McNulty (70), Tom Kite (71) and John Cook (72).
Stealing the show, however, was a black bear that ambled out of the mountains in the morning and crossed the 13th fairway before checking out spectators outside the ropes.
"[Jack] Nicklaus isn't here, so I guess that's a substitute," cracked Funk.
