Shin grabs TCC lead

Micah Shin mounted a stirring backside charge to turn what had threatened to become a wild, woolly second-round survival test into a commanding three-stroke lead Wednesday - and moved to within 36 holes of repeating at The Country Club Invitational here.

As the rest of the field wilted under the full force of TCC's notorious challenge with the wind howling, the heat intensifying, and scores soaring - Shin stood his ground. After stumbling to one-over through 11 holes, he struck back with a clutch run of three birdies over four holes from No. 12, then shrugged off a late bogey to post the day's lone under-par round of 71.
