UPPER ARLINGTON, Ohio -- Joey Sindelar, one of four former Ohio State players in the U.S. Senior Open at Scioto Country Club in suburban Columbus, has felt the support of the hometown crowd all week.It apparently was a big help Friday. The 58-year-old Sindelar shot a 4-under 66 on a hot and humid day to take the second-round lead. He had five birdies, including two in a row after a bogey on No. 5. After finishing the first round with a 69, he was at 5 under overall.Ive never been unconvinced that that many people in your corner, as the four of us have witnessed this week, cannot somehow kind of talk you into what might happen, Sindelar said.His highlight was a 40-foot birdie putt on the par-3 17th, after pars on the six previous holes.Im seeing the line very well, and I seem to be able to hit the ball where Im looking, and so far its been a fun week with the putter, said Sindelar, whose best finish in a senior event was a second in 2009. Billy Mayfair, making his first senior start after turning 50 last Saturday, was a stroke back after a 67. He had four birdies and a bogey.Any time you put the words USGA in front of a tournament, first of all, theyre going to be the best venues youre ever going to find, and theyre going to be set up very difficult, Mayfair said.Youve got to drive the ball well. Youve got to hit good, smart iron shots, and youve got to position the ball on the green really well. Usually, thats below the hole. The greens will get firmer and firmer.First-round leader Vijay Singh followed his opening 66 with a 75 to drop into a tie for eighth at 1 over.I didnt hit that many fairways, Singh said. It was a lot windier today. I got some bad breaks, didnt putt as well. But all in all, I managed. I didnt play as bad as what the score reads.Defending champion Jeff Maggert also was 1 over after a 71. He won last year at Del Paso in California. Sindelar said stamina has been factor for the 50-and-over players in the blistering heat and high humidity. For one thing, Sindelar said he also had trouble keeping his hands dry on the club. The conditions also have worked in their favor, with the course playing hard and fast.Some of us have aged way different than others, he said.Im extremely arthritic so the heat is good for me. It keeps me loose so Im kind of enjoying it. But, boy, at night were cramping no matter how much you drink. Everybody got beat down a little. Its just tough physically to go through that out there.John Daly had an 81 to miss the cut. He had three double bogeys, six bogeys and a birdie.

Stanfords career rusher leader ran for 64 yards in his NFL debut, and the Arizona Cardinals exposed several trouble spots for the Green Bay Packers in a 17-0 preseason win Friday night. Carson Palmer and Drew Stanton each threw for a touchdown against a Packers secondary that had trouble containing anybody, and Arizonas aggressive new defence had three sacks, one interception and one forced fumble. Aaron Rodgers connected with James Jones for a 50-yard gain in his only series, and Vince Young showed flashes of potential just three days after signing with the Packers. But those were among the only highlights for the Packers, who were shut out in a full preseason game for the first time since Aug. 22, 1987. The Packers also were shut out in the 2003 Hall of Fame game, though that game was called because of lightning with 5:49 left in the first quarter. It got so ugly that Packers fans, among the most loyal in the NFL, booed backup quarterback Graham Harrell late in the third quarter after yet another drive stalled. Taylor set Stanford records in rushing (4,300 yards) and total touchdowns (45), and the Cardinals drafted him in the fifth round to be a backup to Ryan Williams and Rashard Mendenhall. But with both missing the first preseason game because of nagging injuries -- Williams has a sore knee and Mendenhall has patella tendinitis -- new Arizona coach Bruce Arians turned Taylor loose in the second quarter.dddddddddddd He didnt disappoint, running right at the defensive line. He ground out gains on short-yardage plays, and also showed a knack for wriggling free for longer runs. Though he never found his way to the end zone, he got the Cardinals in scoring position, only to see two field goal attempts fail. Former LSU star Tyrann Mathieu also made an impression in his first game in two years, recording a sack and returning two punts. The Packers threatened on their first drive, with Rodgers finding Jones for the 50-yard gain that put Green Bay at the Arizona 6. But Jermichael Finley dropped a ball on third-and-goal from the 2, and James Starks was stuffed at the 1 to turn the ball over on downs. Things didnt get any better from there, with Harrell getting picked off by Patrick Peterson in his first series and getting sacked and stripped on his second. Palmer didnt waste any time taking advantage of the interception, throwing a 38-yard touchdown to Andre Roberts on the first play.
