OAKVILLE, Ontario (Reuters) - Chad Campbell claimed the halfway lead at the RBC Canadian Open with a near course-record performance on Friday. The American, winless on the PGA Tour since 2007, missed a six-foot birdie putt on his closing hole for a nine-under 63 to tie the Glen Abbey course record set by Leonard Thompson in 1981 and matched by Andy Bean in 1983 and Greg Norman in 1986.

The bogey free round pushed the Texan’s 36-hole total to 14-under, two shots in front of American Brian Harman and three shots ahead of Canadian David Hearn and American Johnson Wagner.
