Allenby storms into lead

Robert Allenby carded seven birdies and just one bogey in a 65 to lead by two strokes after the second round of the Booz Allen Classic at the Congressional Country Club in Maryland.

The Australian, who had missed seven cuts in 16 events prior to this tournament, is on nine under par at 133, two ahead of England’s Lee Westwood, overnight leader Matt Gogel, defending champion Adam Scott and fellow Aussie Steve Elkington.
