David Toms, who is less than a week removed from missing a three-foot putt for par on his first playoff hole against K.J. Choi, finds himself at the top of another leader board at the Colonial Invitational.

Toms, whose last win on tour was in 2006 at the Sony Open in Hawaii, turned a lot of heads last week with his play in Ponte Vedra, Fla. at TPC Sawgrass.

Plugging along must be "Toms Speak" for playing more aggressive than he has in the past.

After hitting only 6-of-14 fairways in Round 1, Toms was dropping bombs on the greens to go as low has he did.

He made putts from 29 feet away on the 18...
