08/08/2008 - Wichita, KS (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Scott Piercy fired a nine-under 62 Friday to move three strokes clear of the field after two rounds of the Wichita Open.
Piercy completed 36 holes with a tournament-record score of 16-under-par 126. The previous record of 127 was set by Eric Hoos in 1991 and matched by Emlyn Aubrey in 1998.
Chris Anderson carded a six-under 65 and is alone in second place at minus-13. Daniel Summerhays and Hunter Haas carded their second straight 65s to move into a share of third at 12-under-par 130. Summerhays birdied his first five holes, but collected one more birdie and 12 pars to close out his round.
The first round was completed earlier Friday after a lengthy weather delay on Thursday pushed things back.
Piercy, who completed his first round earlier Friday, opened his second round with a birdie on the second before he collected back-to-back birdies from the fourth to move to 10-under on the North Course at Crestview Country Club.
The 29-year-old birdied the eighth and came right back to birdie No. 9. After a birdie on the par-four 11th, Piercy dropped his only shot of the day at the par-three 12th.
Piercy rebounded with three consecutive birdies from the 13th to grab the lead at 15-under. He parred two straight before draining a birdie on the 18th to push his lead to three shots.
"That was definitely one of those feelings you wish you could have every day," said Piercy of his 10-birdie round. "It was one of those eerie calms."
Anderson birdied the second and fourth to get his round going. He dropped in his third birdie on the par-three eighth that moved him to 10-under.
After five straight pars from the ninth, Anderson eagled the par-five 14th. He then closed with a birdie on No. 18 to end alone in second.
"We are all trying to be a little more positive," said Anderson, who was a playoff loser earlier this year at the Nationwide Tour Players Cup. "We figured out it's not as hard as we've been making it. We all got tired of playing bad and we know we're better than what we've been doing."
First-round leader Tommy Tolles stumbled to a two-over 73 and fell into a share of 24th place at seven-under-par 135.
The cut line fell at four-under-par 138 with 61 players moving on to the weekend. Among those who missed the cut were Jay Delsing (139), Arjun Atwal (139), Keoke Cotner (142) and Casey Wittenberg (142).

The AFC South and the NFC East are the favorite divisions to have the next Super Bowl champ among them in the NFL betting odds. But more down to the point, these football odds are in favor of the Indianapolis Colts, by far the strongest team in the AFC South, and the Dallas Cowboys of the NFC East.
Most sports fans would agree that these two teams top the list to win it all before the season even begins. In the BetUS Sportsbook football futures, the Colts are +800 in the odds to win the Super Bowl, while the Cowboys are sitting at +1000 and the Super Bowl XLIV champions New Orleans Saints at +900. In the AFC South, the Colts won the division for five straight years after the 2002 realignment, before the Tennessee Titans won it in 2008. But the Colts came back strong in 2009 to win the division again en route to the Super Bowl. The Cowboys are the favorite to win the NFC East, as well as to advance far into the post season. The Cowboys won the division last season before their horrendous loss in the NFC Divisional playoff to Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings. But the ‘Boys will take that loss humbly and be ready for the playoffs this time around.
The NFC South is also very strong, at +600 in the NFL futures, considering that it is home to the defending Super Bowl champions. However, some predictions have the Atlanta Falcons with possibilities of claiming the divisional title this season in place of the Saints, as no team has won back-to-back division championships since the division realignment took place. Let’s not overlook the AFC North at +500. As TO goes to Cincinnati to join Chad OchoCinco and Adam “Pac-Man” Jones, this team looks to claim the division title again. And it is likely they will do so. The Bengals lost in the AFC Wild Card spot in a hard-fought battle against the New York Jets last season. Lest not forget the Pittsburgh Steelers, the XLII Super Bowl Champions… All these teams present interesting odds and matchups for the upcoming season, but the safest and surest bet seems to be with the Colts in the AFC South and the Cowboys in the NFC East. Play this weekly NFL Football Contestto see if you can win.
