NICHOLASVILLE, Ky. -- Adam Svensson had two eagles in a 10-under 62 to take a two-stroke lead Thursday in the PGA Tour's Barbasol Championship.

Playing through temperatures in the 90s at Keene Trace, the Canadian eagled the par-5 15th and eighth holes. The first eagle came after his lone bogey on No. 14, and the second -- on a 31-foot putt -- gave him the lead.

"I had a couple of top 25s the last few events and I've always had, not issues, but just kind of struggled a little with the putter," said Svennson, whose best finish this season was a tie for seventh at the Sony Open in Hawaii.
