Omar Uresti opens 2-shot lead in PGA Professional (The Associated Press)

VERONA, N.Y. (AP) -- Former PGA Tour player Omar Uresti shot a 2-under 70 on Tuesday at Turning Stone to increase his lead to two strokes in the PGA Professional Championship.

The top 20 after the final round Wednesday will earn spots next month in the PGA Championship at Baltusrol in New Jersey.

The 47-year-old Uresti, a PGA Life Member from Austin, Texas, had an 11-under 205 total. He had three birdies and one bogey at Atunyote, his first dropped stroke in 40 holes.

''I was a little tired today. The swing was not there with the driver,'' Uresti said.
