Steve Allan of Australia shot a 3-under 69 on Saturday and holds a one-shot lead after two rounds of the Dick's Open at Endicott, N.Y.

Allen is at 12-under 132 after two trips around En-Joie Golf Club. Boo Weekley is one shot back after a sizzling 64 on Saturday, while Jason Caron is two behind after carding a 68.

Kevin Sutherland (66 on Saturday), Paul Goydos (68) and Australia's Greg Chalmers (66) are tied for fourth at 135.

The 51-year-old Allan is looking for his second Champions title. His first was at the Galleri Classic earlier this year.

Allan made four birdies to go with a bogey on 17 during Saturday's round. He closed with a birdie to hold the one-shot edge.

Allan was red-hot in the first round with a 63. He has the opportunity to be a wire-to-wire winner.

'Yeah, it's always nice to have a chance. It doesn't happen that often, for me anyway,' Allan said. 'I didn't play my best today. I'm going to have to play a lot better than that tomorrow to win. I was in the rough way too often and sort of scrambling.'

'Hung in there really well,' he continued. 'Almost got away with no bogeys, made one on 17, but bounced back on the last.'

Weekley carded eight birdies during his stellar bogey-free round. He made three straight birdies early in his round (Nos. 3-5) and twice made two straight on the back nine.

'It's good to be back in contention,' Weekley said. 'I mean, been playing pretty solid this week and making some putts, which is fun to see go in.'

Caron knocked down six birdies and also had two bogeys, both coming on par-4s on the back nine. But he recovered to make birdies on 16 and 17.

'I'm just going to do what I've been doing, which is just trying to control what I can do and not what everyone else does, (and) have fun,' Caron said. 'I've got my family out here, so it's always nice to see them on the sidelines, and they're always cheering regardless if it's a birdie or a triple bogey.'

Billy Mayfair shot 64 and is part of a seven-way tie for seventh. Also, part of the logjam at 8 under are Notah Begay III (66), Harrison Frazar (67), Jeff Maggert (67), Jeff Sluman (68), Paul Stankowski (68) and Gene Sauers (68).
