NAPLES, Fla. -- Harris English and Matt Kuchar shot a 6-under 66 in windy modified alternate shot play Friday to take the second-round lead in the Franklin Templeton Shootout.English and Kuchar were at 21 under at Tiburon after opening with a 57 on Thursday in the scramble round. They won in 2013 in their first start together and finished second the last two years.Alternate shots always a tricky format. If you would have told us 6 under bogey-free in todays conditions, wed take that straightaway, Kuchar said. Id be surprised if another group was bogey-free today. It was good golf. I dont remember a hole being nervous that we might walk away with a bogey. Every hole we kind of had a chance and it was a good, fun round of golf.The event ends Sunday with a better-ball round.We would have the same game plan tomorrow whether were up four or up one, Kuchar said. You have to keep plodding away having two chances at birdies. You keep trying to make pars out here and these guys are going to catch you and pass you.Wisconsin friends Steve Stricker and Jerry Kelly were a stroke back after a 68. The 49-year-old Stricker is teaming with the 50-year-old Kelly for the record eighth time. They won in 2009, and Kelly also won with Rod Pampling in 2006.Its just a hard day, its hard, Stricker said. Im driving it out there a little past him, so hes hitting all the irons and its just difficult. Its just a difficult position to put him in every hole and Im just sitting back watching him hitting the irons. Its tough. You dont want to make a mistake, hit it in the water or plug it in a bunker, but its going to happen. Its just a difficult day. Its hard to get any momentum at all. You feel like youre just clawing and scratching your way around.Charles Howell III-Rory Sabbatini (69) and Kevin Chappell-Kevin Kisner (68) were 16 under.
