AKRON — Cameron Percy shot a 4-under 66 on Friday at rainy Firestone Country Club to take a one-stroke lead in the Kaulig Companies Championship, the fourth of the five major tournaments on the PGA Tour Champions.

Percy had a 7-under 133 total. The 52-year-old Australian is winless in 50 starts on the 50-and-over senior tour.

“You can’t fake it around here. You’ve got to hit it solid,” Percy said. “The par 3s are hard, everything’s hard. You’ve got to hit it really good. You can’t just slap it everywhere and shoot a 68.”

Play was suspended twice due to lightning for a total of three hours and one minute. The first delay was from 2:27 to 4:15 p.m. and the second delay from 4:40 to 5:53 p.m.

First-round leader Jerry Kelly was tied for second with Zach Johnson. Kelly shot 69, and Johnson had his second straight 67.

“A few of these holes out here really make you think,” Johnson said. “Seems like the harder the hole, the more difficulty I seem to execute even better. That was encouraging.”

The 50-year-old Johnson has two victories in eight senior starts this season. He skipped the U.S. Senior Open last week to play in the PGA Tour’s John Deere Classic, where he tied for ninth. Johnson made 15 appearance at Firestone on the PGA Tour and earned five top-10 finishes.

The 59-year-old Kelly won the event in 2020 and 2022.He is seeking his first win in 2026.

Boo Weekley was 5 under after a bogey-free 67.

“I reckon I’m just a little more mature at this golf course,” Weekley said. “I know, that’s kind of hard to believe for me to say that word. I can’t spell it.”

Akron native Ryan Armour, who turned 50 in February, had his second 68 to join 2019 champion Retief Goosen (67), Darren Clarke (70) and Tag Ridings (66) at 4 under.

Charles Schwab Cup leader Stewart Cink was 3 under after a 68. He has four wins in 11 starts this season.

The second-round scoring average was 71.276 strokes.

Saturday’s third round tees off beginning at 9:10 a.m. through 11:16 a.m.

This is the final year for the tournament to be held at Firestone Country Club, ending a relationship with the PGA Tour that dates to the Rubber City Open in 1954.
