THE WOODLANDS, Texas, Oct. 8 (UPI) -- Brad Faxon put himself on course for his first Champions Tour win Saturday, firing a 7-under 65 to take a the second-round lead of the Insperity Championship.

Faxon, seeking his initial victory in only his sixth start on the senior circuit, finished 36 holes at 10-under 134, posting a one-stroke lead over Tommy Armour III (67).

Eduardo Romero registered a 4-under 68 for the second straight round to grab sole possession of third place at 8-under 136, while Jay Haas (67), Olin Browne (68) and Tom Lehman (70) shared fourth at minus-seven.

Defending champion Fred Couples seemed unlikely to repeat after managing an even-par 72. He finished the day tied for 10th at four-under 140.
