Bourque shoots 68, makes cut in Las vegas

LAS VEGAS, Nev. (AP) Mark Turnesa holed out from 159 yards for eagle on the par-4
18th hole to offset a 17th-hole double bogey and maintain a share of the lead Friday in the
Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open.

Tied for the first-round lead, Turnesa followed his opening 62 with a 64 to match Matt
Kuchar at 18-under 126 - one off the PGA Tour's 36-hole records for total score and relalion
to par. Kuchar had his second straight 63 at TPC Summerlin.

Zach Johnson, the other first-round leader after winning the Texas Open last week, was
third at 17 under after a 65 in sunny, calm conditions.

Biddeford-native Casey Bourque, who is making his American PGA Tour debut, survived
the cut by one stroke. He shot a 4-under 68, following his opening round of 2-under 70,
Thursday.

Turnesa, a PGA Tour rookie, birdied Nos. 14-16, then dropped !wostrakes on the par-3
17th after i>itting into the water. He got the stokes back on 18 with the eagle after a 300 yard drive.
"I hit a bad shot'on 17 and made double," Turnesa said. 'Then, on 18, 1 hit a good shot and got a little lucky as weil, and it went in the
hole.
"I was a little disappointed but there is so much golf to be played. 1 was just trying to put a
good swing on it on 18 and get20it in the fairway and make birdie when 1put it in the fairway, so I
was a bit surprised. 1mean, it looked good. Iknew in the air it was going to be close. So when
I beard the crowd, it was a good feeling."

Kuchar, who missed the cuts in his last seven starts, had nine birdies - five on his last seven
haies - in his bogey-free round. Bourque's round featured five birdies, three
of them on the front nine. He shot 2-under 34 on the front nine, then matched that score on the back side.
His birdie-3 on No. 18 allowed hirn to slip in just under the cut line.
Bourque will tee off this morning at 7 a.m. (PDT).
