09/03/2010 - Canonsburg, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Geoffrey Sisk was atop the leaderboard Friday when the second round of the inaugural Mylan Classic was suspended due to darkness.
Sisk, one of two first-round leaders, was minus-four for his round and 10- under par for the tournament when play was called for the day.
There was a 80-minute weather delay that halted action. The second round was suspended for the night by darkness at 7:50 p.m. (et) and will resume Saturday at 7:45 a.m.
Dave Schultz was six-under through 17 holes to climb into second place at minus-eight.
PGA Tour player Rocco Mediate, a native of nearby Greensburg, Pa., is one of five players that shares the clubhouse lead at six-under-par 136.
Mediate, who is making his first career start in a Nationwide Tour event, shot two-under 69 and was joined in third place by Jason Gore (67), Chris Nallen (67), Kevin Kisner (68) and Mark Anderson (68).
Steve Wheatcroft, who grew up 10 minutes from Southpointe Golf Club, is also minus-six and has one hole left in his second round.
Sisk started his round with a pair of pars before chipping in for his first birdie on the par-three third. After the weather delay, he got to eight-under with a birdie on the sixth.
The 45-year-old Sisk birdied the par-five eighth to move to minus-nine. He parred three straight around the turn.
Sisk dropped in a birdie effort on the par-three 12th. He parred the next three holes before play was halted for the night.
"I was a little nervous starting off because I just haven't been in this position in a while," said Sisk. "I hit some good shots the first three holes. The wind was very tricky to start the day, but I managed to calm down."
Canadian David Hearn is one of seven players tied for ninth at minus-five.
Scott Dunlap, who shared the first-round lead with Sisk, stumbled to a two- over 73 to slide into a share of 18th at minus-four.
NOTES: Tommy Gainey, who could earn an automatic promotion to the PGA Tour with a win, shot 73 to fall into a share of 27th...Arnold Palmer's grandson, Sam Saunders, is playing on a sponsor's exemption. Saunders was five-over after 13 holes to slide to plus-four overall, which left him tied for 104th...Twenty-seven players need to complete their second rounds on Saturday.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds
Will he or won't he? Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.
Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.
"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."
Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.
Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.
But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.
Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback. It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
Here are the football odds as seen at MySportsbook.com and subject to change after February 10, 2007 if not locked in prior to that date.

Atlanta Falcons 50-1
Baltimore Ravens 15-1
