Former UNLV golfer Chad Campbell followed up his stellar 7-under par Thursday round of 65 at the Masters with a 2-under 70 on Friday, leaving him tied atop the leaderboard with Kenny Perry heading into the weekend in Augusta, Ga.
Campbell, 34, found himself as low as 11 under for the tournament on Friday, but after a birdie on the 10th, he carded back-to-back bogeys. Then, following four consecutive pars, he bogeyed No. 17 before a birdie on 18.
Perry shot a 5-under 67 in the second round.
39-year-old Angel Cabrera is next in line behind Campbell and Perry at 8 under, followed by Todd Campbell (-6), Tim Clark (-5) and a five-man tie at 4 under.
The odds-on favorite to take the event -- Tiger Woods -- shot a 72 on Friday, making him 7 strokes off the pace at 2 under.
Campbell, a member of three Ryder Cup teams, finished 2008 as No. 24 on the tour money list with more than $2.4 million in earnings.
