SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) James Hahn shot a bogey-free 6-under 65 on Friday to take the lead in the suspended second round of the Waste Management Phoenix Open.

Hahn had a 10-under 132 total on TPC Scottsdale's Stadium Course to enter the weekend a stroke ahead of Rickie Fowler and Danny Lee. Fowler birdied his final hole for a 68, and Lee had a 66.

An estimated 160,415 fans, not counting a large bobcat that sauntered between the first and second holes in the afternoon, packed the grounds. The crowd broke the Friday record of 123,674 set in 2014 and was the 10th-largest figure for any day in tournament history.

Hahn is right at home at golf biggest party, becoming an internet sensation as a rookie in 2013 when he celebrated a birdie on the par-3 16th with a ''Gangnam Style'' dance. He won last year at Riviera for his first tour title.
