SNOQUALMIE, Wash. -- U.S. Senior Open champion Gene Sauers eagled the par-5 18th hole Friday for a 7-under 65 and a share of the Boeing Classic lead with Kirk Triplett.Coming off his breakthrough victory two weeks ago in Ohio, the 54-year-old Sauers played the four par-5 holes in 5 under with the eagle and three birdies. He won three times on the PGA Tour.Triplett had five- and four-hole birdie streaks at TPC Snoqualmie Ridge. Also 54, he followed a bogey on the 11th -- his second hole of the day -- with five straight birdies and added a birdie on 18. On his second nine, he bogeyed the third, then ran off four in a row.I really just hit a lot of good wedges to real close, like 2 or 3 feet, Triplett said. That probably describes the round more than anything. It was by no means a pure ball-striking round or anything like that, I just really judged some wedges well. So, thats where most of the birdies came.Triplett won the American Family Insurance Championship in June in Wisconsin for his fifth victory on the 50-and-over tour.Duffy Waldorf and Stephen Ames were a stroke back.Waldorf also had five straight birdies, from the 15th to the first.

Frost also eagled the 18th and played the four par 5s in 5 under. Byrum birdied his final four holes.The greens are quite receptive, although it takes this big first bounce and then stops, Frost said. I remember last year, the greens were a lot harder than they are this year, so I think thats why the scores are a little lower this year. The golf course is just in great shape. The fairways are beautiful, the greens are really nice. Its just a pleasure to come and play here.Bernhard Langer opened with a 69.
