LOS CABOS, Mexico (AP) — Matti Schmid rolled in a 30-foot eagle putt with about 6 feet of break during a six-hole stretch he played in 6-under par that carried the German to a 9-under 63 and a one-shot lead Friday in the World Wide Technology Championship.

Nick Dunlap, who tied the course record of 61 in the opening round, was keeping pace and pulled one shot ahead of Schmid until a tee shot out of play on his 16th hole, the par-4 seventh, that led to double bogey. He closed with two pars for a 67 and was one shot behind.

Sami Valimaki of Finland, who also shot a 61 in the first round, birdied three of his last five holes for a 67 to join Dunlap a shot behind at El Cardonal at Diamante.

Only three tournaments, including this one on the southern tip of Baja California, remain this season
