THOMPSON, CAMPBELL TIED AT HOOTERS

SIKESTON -- Dicky Thompson and Chad Campbell moved into a share of the lead atop a congested leaderboard after Friday's second round of the NGA-Hooters Golf Tour $100,000 KFVS12 Classic at the BootHeel Golf Club.

The pair is deadlocked at 11-under-par 133 to lead a group of four by a stroke. Thompson, of Peachtree City, Ga., fired a 66 to follow up his first-round 67 on Thursday. Campbell, of Andrews, Texas, fired a 67 after a first-round 66.

Chris Peddicord, Kyle Owen, Steve Pope and Adam Thomas are tied for third at 134. Seven players are tied for seventh place, two strokes behind the leaders.

Forty players are within five strokes of the lead with two rounds to play. A total of 63 players survived the cut of 3-under-par 141, equaling the lowest cut of the season.

First-round leader Brent Brooks fell three strokes off the lead. After tying the course record with a 63, Brooks shot a 73 on Friday for a 136 total.

A morning thunderstorm delayed Friday's round one hour and 25 minutes. Prior to the delay, Thompson, starting on the back nine, opened with five straight birdies. When the rain hit he had played 10 holes at 6-under par.

Campbell birdied five holes in a bogey-free round.

Third-round play begins today at 8 a.m. The final round will be held Sunday with the winner pocketing $15,000.
