SAN ANTONIO, Texas — Castle High alum Dean Wilson shot an 8-under 62 yesterday to take the lead at the Texas Open, and David Duval made his first 36-hole cut this year.

Wilson had a 12-under 128 total after two rounds at the LaCantera Golf Club, one stroke in front of Jeff Maggert and John Senden and nine in front of Duval, the world's former No. 1 player who had missed 18 straight cuts and broken par just once this year before shooting a 1-under 69 on Thursday.

"It was a cycle that needed to be broken," said Duval, whose previous cut was in the Michelin Championship last October. "I've been number one and number 1,000, but I've hit bottom and I'm coming back up."

Wilson, who had yesterday's lowest round, finished third in this tournament last year.

"I had the best finish of my career (here) last year, so I certainly have some good memories of this place," he said. "The last month or so I've had a good round and then a bad round, but this is certainly a good one."

Wilson, who was born in Kane'ohe and now lives in Las Vegas, had eight birdies, closing with ones on his last three holes.

"That's nice to have the three birdies to finish up, hopefully that will give me some momentum," Wilson said.

With Hurricane Rita shifting further east, no rain is expected in San Antonio over the weekend, but winds could still peak upward of 35 mph yesterday.
