American duo rocking in Reno

John Mallinger and JJ Henry shared the clubhouse lead at the Reno-Tahoe Open after completing their second rounds.

Mallinger carded six birdies against only one bogey to emulate his first-round total of 11 points under the modified Stableford scoring system.

And he was soon joined at the summit by fellow American Henry, who scored 12 points to add to his opening 10 after a round featuring five birdies and an eagle but also three dropped shots.
