Austin, TX (My Sportsbook) - Bernhard Langer continued to lead the Triton Financial Classic after shooting a three-under 69 in the second round on Saturday. Chasing his third win of the season, Langer recovered from two late bogeys to finish 36 holes at 10-under-par 134. The two-time Masters champion leads Gene Jones (66) by a shot. Jeff Sluman and Mark O'Meara are two strokes further back at seven-under 137 after both players posted 69s in the second round at The Hills Country Club. Three more top names on the Champions Tour -- Jay Haas (68), Tom Kite (70) and Scott Hoch (69) -- share fifth place at six-under 138. Langer, who holds a lead of more than $300,000 on the money list, already owns six career wins on the over-50 tour -- twice as many as the 51-year-old German won on the PGA Tour. MORE TO FOLLOW.
