LA QUINTA, Calif. Air Max Plus Saldi . -- Before Patrick Reed earned his PGA Tour card in December 2012, he successfully Monday-qualified for six events and made 12 starts that year. That experience, with wife Justine at his side as his caddie, has come in handy in the first two rounds of the Humana Challenge. "For sure," Reed said. "Its a birdiefest, this tournament is. ... Its pretty easy to get in that Monday-qualifying mindset, due to the fact that youre playing three different courses. So, the first day, its like, All right, well, lets see how we do against the guys in my course there. And the same thing every day." A day after shooting a 9-under 63 at PGA Wests Arnold Palmer Private Course to take the lead, Reed had another 9-under 63 down the road Friday at tree-lined La Quinta Country Club to stretch his advantage to two strokes over Brendon Todd. "Its great to have that feeling that you can go out and shoot 63," said Reed, the Wyndham Championship winner in August. "And to actually do it two times in a row shows that what we have done during the off-season and what were doing now is working." Justine is pregnant with their first child, and her brother, Kessler Karain, is subbing as Reeds caddie. Justine has walked every hole with her 23-year-old husband this year and plans to rejoin him inside the ropes after the baby girl arrives around Memorial Day. Justine got a good look at his best shot of the day, a high 5-iron approach on the par-5 fifth that landed softly and rolled to 4 feet to set up an eagle. He also had eight birdies and his lone bogey in 36 holes. "That tee shot on 5s not easy," Reed said. "You have to hit a perfect high cut around that tree and if it goes straight, youre actually through the fairway. You have to hit a hook around those trees. And when I hit a perfect drive like that, had a perfect number for a 5-iron to the left flag. When I hit something three-quarters or 85 per cent, its normally a little draw, so I just aimed it in the middle of the green and hit it up there to 4 feet. That was kind of just perfect for me." La Quinta has been that kind of place for the former Baton Rouge, La., high school champion who helped Augusta State win NCAA titles in 2010 and 2011. When Reed earned his PGA Tour card back in 2012, it was at PGA West. Todd had a 63 on the Palmer course. Hes the only player without a bogey. "Obviously, both days were really solid," Todd said. "Bogey-free was huge. ... Before I knew it, I was at 7- or 8-under with a few to play, feeling like I should birdie every hole. ... The weathers been so good, Im not surprised to see what Patrick did." The temperature climbed into the 80s and it was so calm the ponds looked like glass, the water as still as the plastic swans PGA West uses to scare away geese. Ryan Palmer was third, three strokes back at 15-under, after a 65 at La Quinta. He also made a short eagle putt on the fifth hole. "Overall, it was another great day," said Palmer, coming off a tie for eighth in the Sony Open in Hawaii. "Another great finish, hanging in there, staying strong." Charley Hoffman, the 2007 winner, was 14-under after a 66 on PGA Wests Jack Nicklaus Private Course. He had five straight birdies on the front nine. "Theres water, theres trouble if you short-side yourself, but if youre hitting good shots, the greens are good and you can make a bunch of birdies," Hoffman said. Bill Haas and James Driscoll were 13-under. Haas, the 2010 winner, had a 66 on the Nicklaus course, and Driscoll shot 63 at La Quinta. Charlie Beljan was another stroke back, shooting 64 on the Nicklaus course. Ottawas Brad Fritsch followed his opening round 67 with a 70, leaving him at 7-under 137. David Hearn of Brantford, Ont., who shot an opening round 68, also had a 70. Mike Weir of Brights Grove, Ont., fired a 69 after an opening round 73, leaving him at 142. Calgarys Stephen Ames carded his second straight 73. Matt Every and playing partner Will MacKenzie were 11-under in a group that included Kapalua winner Zach Johnson. Every settled for a 68 on the Palmer course after playing an early five-hole stretch in 6-under with four birdies and an eagle. MacKenzie had a 66. "I was just striping it," Every said. "I was hitting it close and then the greens, we were first off, so the greens were perfect, and I was rolling them in." After a long wait at the turn, he made a double bogey on No. 10. "We flew around the front," Every said. "Then we got to the back and there was a logjam." Johnson had an eagle, six birdies, two bogeys -- on his first two holes -- and a double bogey in a 68 on the Nicklaus course. "I would like to start over, but this is a tournament of patience," Johnson said. Playing alongside Johnson, Keegan Bradley had a hole-in-one in a 66 that left him 9-under in his first start of the year. His 176-yard shot on the third hole landed about 10 feet short of the pin and rolled in. "A little baby 7-iron," Bradley said.

The Montreal native, who was competing just five months after having surgery on her anterior cruciate ligament, captured her fifth Winter X Games gold medal in womens ski slopestyle Sunday. "I just wanted to get out there and land a run that was clean and solid, get back into the groove of things," said the 25-year-old. "My knees feeling really good. Ive had a lot of great support, a physical therapist travelling with me, all my sponsors have been really involved. Everyone is making sure Im on the right program." Turski injured herself back in August while training and it was uncertain then if she would be ready in time for her sport to make its Olympic debut in February. But with determination, and a great support network, she says was able to return back to the slopes well ahead of schedule. "I wasnt listening too much to what other people were saying," said Turski. "The moment I blew (my knee) so many things were going throough my head like, whats going to happen with the Olympics?. Air Max 270 Offerta. .. (But) I knew if I put in my everything I could get back to as strong as I was." Turski scored 91.33 on her second run to cruise to first place, but admitted she has more to give. "I think that I was rewarded for my flow on the course, just keeping it cool and looking smooth," said Turski. "I want to bring that to the Olympics. I didnt want to throw my hardest tricks on the course today because I didnt want to compromise my chances heading into the Olympics." American Maggie Voisin took silver with 90.00 points and Kim Lamarre of Quebec City earned bronze with a best score of 85.00. "I was thrilled to have Kim on the podium with me, shes one of my best friends," said Turski. "Shes one to watch, shes a really, really strong athlete. She can have a winning run." Dara Howell of Huntsville, Ont., finished fourth with a score of 84.00 while Yuki Tsubota of Whistler, B.C. was eighth at 75.33. All four skiers are on Canadas freestyle team heading to next months Olympics in Sochi, Russia. 20:53ET 26-01-14 ' ' '
