PHI LADELPHIA-
Tom Kite, happily and enthu-
siastically defending the only
title he's ever won, scrambled
his way to a hard-won, rallying,
two under par 69 and a tie with
New Zealand's John Lister for
the second round lead yester-
day in the $200,000 Philadelphia
Golf Classic.
"Oh, what a day," Kite sig-
hed after his erratic effort that
included four bogeys - one of
them a one putt - six birdies
and only eight pars.
"It may sound funny, but
that's the kind of round you
sometimes have when you're
playing good," Kite analyz-
ed. "I turned an over-par
round into a fairly decent
one and almost a good one."
A bogey on the 18th-which
cost him the lead alone-kept
it from being a good one, he
said. Ie missed the green from
a flying lie and dropped hack

over the tight little 6,687 yard

course.
Lister, in his seventh full
year of tour activity, putted his
way into contention with a six
under par 65, the best round of
the mild, hazy day. Lister
holed five putts in the 12-15 foot
range and dropped another
from about 40 feet.
"I missed a couple of short
ones," he said, "but, over-
all, you'd have to say I made
everything I should have -
and then some."
Slender Danny Edwards, a
winner at Greensboro earlier
this year, had a second round
69 and was one stroke back of

round of 69 with an eagle two

Terry Diehl, the first round
leader and the man Kite beat
in a playoff for the title here
a year ago, slipped to a 73
and was in a large group at
138, three strokes off the
pace.
"I was mentlflly off, playing
like a zombie," Diehl said.

second round scores, included
