OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (AP) Martin Piller and Shane Bertsch each shot 9-under 62 on Friday to share the second-round lead in the Web.com Tour's Digital Ally Open.
Bertsch birdied seven of the last eight holes and finished with 10 birdies and a bogey at the Nicklaus Golf Club at LionsGate.
''I had an 8-footer on number 10 that I was walking in,'' Bertsch said. ''Somehow it missed over the last two feet and then I had another 25-footer from the back fringe on 14 that just barely missed.''
Piller also had 10 birdies a bogey. The two former Texas A&M players had 15-under 127 totals to break the tournament's 36-hole record.
''You don't have to look far, it's my putting,'' Piller said. ''I feel like I'm a pretty driver of the ball and hit it pretty straight. If I can get my irons dialed in I'll have a chance. I'm pretty much making everything.''
The 29-year-old Piller, married to LPGA Tour player Gerina Piller, won the Boise Open last month for his fourth tour title.
''I like seeing my name up there with a lead. That's a good feeling,'' Piller said. ''I've looked too many times and I haven't even been on the board.''
The 45-year-old Bertsch won the Rust-Oleum Championship in June in Ohio for his third tour title.
Tyler Duncan was a stroke back after a 64.
