Bernhard Langer and Mark Wiebe are handling Royal Birkdale golf course just fine through two days of play. Langer built on his two-under 68 from Thursday and shot a three-under 67 on Friday. Wiebe used a late charge on Friday to shoot the day's best round, a five-under 65.

The two men share a one-shot lead in Southport, Merseyside, England, at the 2013 Senior British Open.

David Frost is just one shot back after back-to-back 68s in the first two rounds. Here's a look at the leaderboard:

Langer Shakes off Early Stumbles



For the second straight day, Langer overcame a misstep on the front nine. A double bogey on the sixth hole had him at plus-one for the day. However, he was able to birdie eight, 13, 15 and 17 to put up another solid performance.

Coming off a 14th-place finish at the U.S. Senior Open earlier in the month, Langer will be looking to create some distance on Saturday. 

Just three shots separate nine men, so there is little room for error. The European Senior Tour captures a cool quote from Langer after his solid round.



 

Wiebe Scorching Hot to Close out the Second Round



The 55-year-old from Seaside, Ore., birdied four of his last six holes to charge into a share of the lead.

On Thursday, he had only managed an even-par 70, but when faced with the possibility of repeating that good-but-not-great performance at the turn, Wiebe kicked it into high gear to close out play at Royal Birkdale.

He's a long shot to stay in contention, as his last notable showing was a sixth-place finish at the 2012 Senior U.S. Open, but he has set himself up for relevancy through the weekend.
