Golf - Australian PGA Championship: Jarrod Lyle equalled the course record with a stunning 63 to take a share of the lead with Mathew Goggin on day two of the Cadbury Schweppes Australian PGA Championship at Coolum.
Tasmanian Goggin shot a 68 in difficult conditions following overnight rain.
Lyle and Goggin both sit on nine-under par with joint-first round leader Paul Sheehan just one shot further behind after hitting a 70.
Wayne Perske's 66 moved him to within two shots of the lead along with Sportsbet Masters champion Rod Pampling, two-time winner Peter Senior, Michael Curtain and David Lutterus, who all added 67s, and Peter Wilson (69) who had led at eight under.
Tim Wilkinson, Sheehan's fellow first-round leader, was also on eight under but dropped back to seven under and level with 2006 Australian Open champion John Senden.
Nathan Green had a mixed round which featured arguably the shot of the tournament so far, a hole-in-one at the par-three 11th, as well as three bogeys, as he moved to six under, level with Matthew Ballard.
There are plenty in joint-14th place on five under, including American Paul Goydos (67), Peter O'Malley (67) and Michael Long (72), as well as New Zealander Richard Lee and 2006 US Open champion Geoff Ogilvy, who regained two earlier dropped shots.
"It's been kind of weird, my golf game, I've been playing good but just not scoring and just not taking advantage of the easy holes," said Lyle.
"I sat down with dad last night over dinner and pretty much had an argument with him about everything that I'm doing.
"Something kind of snapped in me and today was just one of those days that I hit it really good. I hit it just as good as yesterday but holed some putts and got some momentum going."
Goggin did not start his day as well as Lyle, dropping an early shot at the 12th before recovering with a birdie at 16, but he bogeyed 16 playing it again several hours later before a much better front nine that included an eagle and three birdies got him going.
"I didn't do much through the really still part of the day - but it's a tricky little golf course and now with the wind up in the afternoon nine under will probably be around about at the end of the day," Goggin said.
