Davis, Owen share overnight lead at TPC Louisiana

FROM THE AOL GOLF NEWS SERVICE
English duo Brian Davis and Greg Owen hold a share of the overnight lead at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans after play was suspended for the day due to lightning and heavy rain at TPC Louisiana.
Only 47 players had completed their second rounds on Friday when play was initially called to halt with a severe weather warning in effect.
Nearly four and a half hours later, play was called for the day after more than 2.5 inches of rain had fallen at the Avondale course near New Orleans, filling the majority of bunkers with water.
Play was set to resume on Saturday, weather permitting, with Davis and Owen having advanced to seven under par for the week alongside Germany's Alex Cejka, American veteran Lee Janzen and first-round leader Jason Bohn, who was yet to get his second round under way following an opening 65.

Davis, runner-up last week to Jim Furyk at the Verizon Heritage having called a penalty on himself during a sudden death play-off, continued his good form with a six-under-par 66 at the 7,340-yard course in Avondale, near New Orleans.
After an opening round of 71 Davis went birdie, bogey, birdie, par, bogey to start his round on the back nine.
He then took four at the par-five 18th to start a 10-hole run that saw seven birdies for the 35-year-old Londoner, chasing his first win in the US and a first title since the 2004 ANZ Championship on the European Tour.
Owen had opened with a 67 and was bogey free in his second round when the hooter sounded with his score two under for the day.
Janzen had already carded a bogey-free 66 while Cejka's 67 was marred only by a bogey at the par-three 17th, his penultimate hole.
One shot back o
n the early second-round leaders and in the clubhouse was Australia's Greg Chalmers, who shot a 68 that included an eagle at the par-five 11th.
