SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) - Troy Matteson had never shot a 61 until this week. Now he's done it twice in a row to set a PGA Tour record.

His second straight 9-under round at the Frys.com Open yesterday gave him a three-shot lead at 16-under 194 heading into the final round.

Matteson's 122 score in consecutive rounds broke the tour record of 123 set this year by Steve Stricker in the third and fourth rounds of the Bob Hope Classic.

Webb Simpson (64), Tim Clark (65) and Chris Stroud (65) were tied at 13 under.

In an amazing stretch, Nicholas Thompson had a double eagle on the par-5 11th, followed by a hole-in-one on the par-3 13th, a drop of five shots in three holes. He finished with a 65 to reach 11 under.

AT&amp;T Championship<b>: </b>Andy Bean shot a 5-under 67 for a share of the second-round lead with Russ Cochran in the Champions Tour's AT&amp;T Championship.

Cochran had a 68 to match Bean at 8-under 134 on the Oak Hills Country Club course.

Jay Haas (67) was a stroke back, and Jeff Sluman (67) and Tom Kite (69) were 6 under. Two-time defending champion John Cook, coming off a victory last week at The Woodlands, was 3 under after a 71.

Nationwide Tour<b>: </b>Matt Every made a 15-foot birdie putt on the final hole for a 5-under 67 and a one-stroke lead over money leader Michael Sim after the third round of the season-ending Nationwide Tour Championship.

Every, 49th on the money list, is trying to move into the final top 25 - the cutoff for 2010 PGA Tour cards.

Castello Masters<b>: </b>Sweden's Michael Jonzon shot a 6-under 65 to take a one-stroke lead in the Castello Masters Costa Azahar.

Jonzon had a 16-under 197 total on the Club de Campo del Mediterraneo course. Sergio Garcia, the defending champion on his home course, had a 67 to join Germany's Martin Kaymer (68) at 15 under.
