Brian Gay birdied five straight holes on the front nine Friday and used a 5-under 66 to take the lead after the second round of the Heritage.

Scotland's Colin Montgomerie has been chosen captain of the 2010 European Ryder Cup golf team. The selection was announced Wednesday at a news conference in Dubai, United Arab Emirates -- the site of this week's Dubai Desert Classic on the European golf tour, which starts Thursday -- by Thomas Bjorn, chairman of Europe's 15-man Ryder Cup tournament committee. The BBC said Montgomerie was chosen ahead of 2008 vice-captain Jose Maria Olazabal, with England's Sandy Lyle and 2006 captain Ian Woosnam of Wales also believed to be in the running. This is obviously one of my proudest moments, Montgomerie said.

Jose Maria Olazabal made the long birdie putt. His partner, Sergio Garcia, walked to the hole and plucked the ball out. Yep, the Europeans take that "team" thing pretty seriously.
