Goosen edges ahead

CHRYSLER LEADERBOARD -7 Retief Goosen (SA) -6 Jose Coceres (Arg), JJ Henry -5 Charles Howell III, Chad Campbell, Jerry Kelly. Other scores: -2 Vijay Singh US unless stated

South Africa's Retief Goosen shot a 66 to take the second-round lead in the Chrysler Classic.

Goosen finished on seven-under-par to lead Argentine Jose Coceres and JJ Henry by one stroke.

Overnight leader Charles Howell III carded an even-par 71 for a share of fourth place with Chad Campbell and Jerry Kelly.

Briny Baird and France's Thomas Levet are tied for seventh a further shot back, with Fiji's Vijay Singh in 10th.

If Singh wins the tournament then he would clinch the PGA Tour money title this week.

After his round, Goosen, who did not bogey a hole until the 16th, said there was still room for improvement.

"I was a bit better in my iron play today. I seemed to hit it closer today than I did yesterday," he said Goosen.

"My iron play is probably not quite up to standard, which leads you to long putts on the green, but I think my putting has not quite been what it should be."
