The unfancied United States pairing of Boo Weekley and Heath Slocum combined for a three-under 69 in Friday’s foursomes to remain top the leaderboard after the second round of the Omega Mission Hills, World Cup.

The American team, which held the overnight lead, finished 36 holes at 14- under-par 130 and are one shot ahead at the Olazabal Course. Weekley, who is ranked 43rd in the world, was picked to represent the United States in the 28-country event after 13 higher-ranked U.S. players, including Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Jim Furyk, turned down the invitation. In turn, he picked the 70th-ranked Slocum, his friend from Milton High School in the Panhandle.

English duo of Justin Rose and Ian Poulter and Scots Colin Montgomerie and Marc Warren remain neck-and-neck after both pairings shot 68 on Friday. South Africans Retief Goosen and Trevor Immelman are a shot further back after a 69.

The format switches to fourballs again on Saturday and then back to foursomes on the final day of this $5 million tournament.
