POTOMAC, Md. -- Adam Scott shot a 9-under 62 Friday for a course-record 36-hole total of 128 and a two-shot lead at the Booz Allen Classic.

Scott, who hit all 18 greens in regulation and had just 28 putts, broke the two-round TPC at Avenel record of 130 set by Fred Funk in 1998.

Olin Browne (66) and Charles Howell III (69) were tied for second, while Glen Day, who had a chance at a 59, and 1999 champion Rich Beem (67) were at 11-under 131.

Day was 10 under for his round when a weather delay stopped play for nearly 2 hours. He holed a lob wedge from 88 yards for an eagle at the par-5 6th and needed two birdies in his last three holes to match the all-time PGA Tour record. Day had a par-bogey-par finish for a 62.
