BETHESDA, Maryland — Vijaysin began thinking about what he’ll do over the weekend after bogging his first three holes at the Senior PGA Championship on Friday.<\/p>\n

“Your heart will just become a heywire,” he said. “But I played long enough to know there’s a lot of golf out there.”<\/p>\n

Then he showed it.<\/p>\n

After missing the Masters and PGA championships this spring due to a private injury, Singh looked perfectly healthy with seven birdies to surge to the top of the Congressional Country Club leaderboard for the rest of the second round. The former top-ranked player who filmed a 4-under 68 took the lead with Ye-Yang (68) and Cameron Percy (71) at 6 midway through the PGA Tour Championships Major.<\/p>\n

“I’ve been driving the ball well,” Singh said. “I hanged there and started making some birdies here and there and picked up shots. The back nine played solid golf.”<\/p>\n

The 62-year-old from Fiji is hoping to win his first career on a course outside of Maryland, just outside Washington. He tied up then on the 77th and missed the cut at his final event at the 2014 Congressional Tiger Woods tournament.<\/p>\n

“I’ve always loved playing here,” Shin said. “It’s a completely different golf course, a whole new golf course. The greens are very challenging, to say the least.”<\/p>\n

Singh, who spent 32 weeks rankings about 20 years ago and known for his strict practice habits, cut some of his routines in half.<\/p>\n

“If you get into range and hit, you’d go out there and hit a good shot of 5 or 6 before. They say, ‘OK, let’s see if we can do these 20’,” Singh said. “But now, if I hit two or three good shots, I say, ‘I was enough, that’s it.” \u201d<\/p>\n

Yang birded four of his last five holes on Friday.<\/p>\n

As things changed throughout his round, Percy kept searching for a large American flag, always seeing how windy it was and realising that he grew up in Melbourne, Australia.<\/p>\n

“I think the wind will definitely help me,” Percy said. “You’re down on the wooden line, you can’t feel the wind, you walk 200 yards and it’s blowing like crazy.”<\/p>\n

Padraig Harrington headlined a busy group two-stroke with 4 under. Stuart Sink, Justin Leonard and defending champion Richard Brando were under the age of three.<\/p>\n

Ernie Elles followed the opening of 69, dropping evenly at 75. He won the 1997 US Open in Congress.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
