SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Nev. -- Former NHL player Joe Pavelski birdied the final three holes Saturday for a share of the second-round lead with former soccer player Taylor Twellman in the American Century Championship at Edgewood Tahoe.
Pavelski, the first-round leader who finished second last year behind former tennis player Mardy Fish, had a 21-point day in the modified Stableford scoring system to match Twellman at 44. Twellman had a 23-point round.
"Obviously, Twellman has been playing great," Pavelski said. "To finish birdie, birdie, birdie and be tied with him, I'll take that all day."
Country star Jake Owen was third at 41 after a 25-point round, and Carolina Panthers receiver Adam Thielen was another point back following a 21-point day.
