(Reuters) - American Andreas Gonzales fired 11 birdies and a single bogey to grab a share of the 36-hole lead in the Barracuda Championship at the Montreux Golf and Country Club on Friday.
Gonzales, who joined countryman Brendan Steele at the top of the leaderboard, posted a record 21-points in the modified Stableford scoring system, beating the old single-round mark of 19 set by John Mallinger in the third round last year.
Gonzales and Steele, who earned 18 points on Friday, are tied on 26, two points ahead of 2012 winner J.J. Henry and Swede Jonas Blixt.
