Sammamish, WA — Bernhard Langer has himself in position for a second consecutive major championship.

Langer overcame a shaky front nine with an eagle and birdie on the inward half Friday to take the lead at 3 under in the second round of the U.S. Senior Open.

After a fog delay of more than two hours brought play to a halt just before 8 a.m., Langer shot a 2-under 68, making key putts on the back nine when his round easily could have slipped away. Langer won the Senior British Open on Sunday at Carnoustie.

No one in the afternoon rounds was able to match Langer. John Cook was two back after a 68, along with J.R. Roth. Tom Watson and Fred Couples shot 70s to stay three back. Loren Roberts and Michael Allen also were even through two rounds.
