Maverick McNealy fires 8-under 64, takes lead at Fortinet Championship.

Maverick McNealy overcame three consecutive bogeys and holed out from 74 yards for eagle on the last for an 8-under 64 and the second-round lead Friday in the Fortinet Championship in Napa, Calif. Winless in 66 career starts on the PGA

Tour, McNealy had nine birdies — one from a greenside bunker to offset his stumbles and get to 12 under at Silverado Resort and

Spa. Beau Hossler matched McNealy’s 64 to get to 6 under with Mito Pereira (67). Three others, including tour rookie of the year Will Zalatoris (67), were 9 under. First-round leader Chez Reavie barely made the cut after a round of 75 that included five bogeys and a double bogey left him eight strokes behind. Phil Mickelson (69) was seven back at 5 under. McNealy, who missed the cut here a year ago, began the day three shots off the pace after an opening 68, but made that up quickly with birdies on three of his first four holes. Austin Cook (Jonesboro, Arkansas Razorbacks) is tied for 24th. Cook shot a 71 on Friday and is at 5-under for the tournament. Taylor Moore (Razorbacks) shot a 73 on Friday and missed the cut with a 3-over 147. Andrew Landry (Razorbacks) missed the cut after turning in a 77 for the second day in a row to finish at 10-over.
