Jim Rutledge of Victoria battled gutsy winds Friday at Uplands Golf Course to carve out a 2-under par 68 and a two-shot lead after the second round of the Times Colonist Open.

Rutledge, who is taking a week off from the Nationwide Tour to play in the Canadian Tour event, has a total of 131, two strokes ahead of Adam Speirs from Winnipeg and three in front of Calgary’s Wes Heffernan.

Rutledge opened the event Thursday with a sizzling 7-under 63 to be the co-leader with Garrett Frank of Youngs-town, Ohio. Frank fell well off the pace after posting a 77 and he is tied for 42nd place.

The field was trimmed to the top 60 and ties for the final two rounds. The winner receives $24,000 from the total purse of $150,000.
