Goydos followed his opening 7-under 63 with a 65 to reach 12-under 128 on the La Cantera Golf Club course — three strokes ahead of three-time champion Justin Leonard and four others. It’s the biggest lead Goydos has ever had on the PGA Tour. “It’s just kind of like being the pace car, for lack of a better word,” the 44-year-old Goydos said. Leonard, tied with Goydos after the first round, shot a 68 to join Scott Sterling (63), John Mallinger (64), Mathias Gronberg (65) and Ted Purdy (67) at 9-under 131. Lance Ten Broeck, a 53-year-old former tour regular shot an even-par 70 to finish at 1-over 141, before toting Jesper Parnevik’s bag the rest of the afternoon at La Cantera Golf Club. A two-time All-American at the University of Texas, Ten Broeck arrived as Parnevik’s caddie, but was called up Thursday as an alternate. • Rosburg was 82 — Bob Rosburg, who won the 1959 PGA Championship and spent three decades with ABC Sports as the first reporter to call the shots from the golf course, has died.
