Golf: Heaven goes higher in Florida

Auckland golfer Brad Heaven fired a second round 65 to jump up the leaderboard in the US PGA tour school second stage in Florida yesterday.

He has jumped to a share of eighth place on eight-under par 136 after two rounds of his qualifying event at Lake Jovita Country Club. Heaven, who played on the Canadian Tour this year, started with a birdie on his first hole and an eagle on the second.

He dropped one shot but added a string of birdies on 6, 9, 13, 17 and 18.
