SYDNEY -- Unheralded James Nitties played his last nine holes in 29 to snatch a one-stroke lead halfway through the Australian Open and compatriot Adam Scott matched that 7-under 65 on Friday to surge into contention for his second national title.Nitties was at 9-under-par 135 overall, one ahead of New Zealands Ryan Fox, who has carded 68-68.Nitties, ranked 732 in the world, said hes struggled to keep his professional career alive.Ive been everywhere. Its been a pretty rough last three years, Nitties said. My game hasnt really changed much but youre staying in hotels which have cockroaches running around.Its fine when youre a junior and when you just turn pro. Its exciting. As you get older and you experience more, its a real battle. Its not a fun feeling but a lot of people have middle-class jobs and they have to work 60 hours a week.Scott was two shots back in a tie for fourth place at 6 under, having rallied impressively after an opening 73 at Royal Sydney. He shot 30 on his back nine on Friday, and the 2009 winner said he must play aggressively on Saturday.Another day around even par and Ill probably miss the cut, so, theres no option but to play well, Scott said. It was a good second nine holes really and I finally just got a bit of rhythm happening out there.American Jordan Spieth remained in strong contention after two rounds, shooting 70 to be in a tie for ninth place at 5 under.Fox is the son of former New Zealand rugby international Grant Fox, who has often been his caddie throughout his professional career. He has teamed with South African bagman Dean Smith, who caddied for An Byeong-hun when he won the BMW PGA Championship on the European Tour last year.We work really well together, Fox said. Its his first time down here, and he won with An Byeong-hun around Wentworth last year so hes got some experience in the lead and Im sure thatll help over the weekend.Rhein Gibson of Australia holds outright third place at 7 under after a 66. Gibson once shot 16-under 55 in Oklahoma in 2012. He said he would trade that feat for a win in his national open.A trophy, thats the missing part, he said. Every year Ive kind of gotten better and Im in a good position heading into the weekend. Eventually Ill win one, I hope.

NEW YORK -- Three delays, 5 1/2 innings and another sensational outing by Clay Buchholz -- albeit a short one. Buchholz allowed two hits in an abbreviated shutout and the Boston Red Sox got home runs from David Ortiz and Jose Iglesias in a 3-0 victory over the New York Yankees that was stopped after 5 1/2 innings because of rain Sunday night. Buchholz (8-0) outpitched Hiroki Kuroda and was pulled after the second of three weather delays. Red Sox reliever Andrew Miller was announced into the game and was warming up on the mound when play was abruptly halted for good, but Buchholz would be credited with a complete game because Miller never faced a batter, according to official scorer Jordan Sprechman. "Thats awesome," Buchholz said. Just before that, the game had resumed for all of 4 minutes before heavy rain returned. Hours earlier, the first pitch was pushed back 45 minutes because thunderstorms were expected to move through the area -- though the rain held off until the top of the sixth inning. "Three rain delays -- a fake one and two real ones," Ortiz said. "What else can you do? You just stick around and see how things end up." Boston took two of three at Yankee Stadium for the second time this season and left town with a 2 1/2-game lead in the AL East over Baltimore. The Yankees fell into a third-place tie with Tampa Bay, three games back. New York has lost seven of eight and nine of 12. Including their season-opening visit, the Red Sox have won their first two series at Yankee Stadium for the second time in 25 years. They also did it in 2011. "Thats how you get yourself closer to the playoffs," Ortiz said. "Winning series, winning series, winning series." Buchholz looked perfectly strong and healthy after missing a turn Monday because of irritation in his collarbone area. He yielded only groundball singles to Ichiro Suzuki and Austin Romine while lowering his major league-best ERA to 1.62. The right-hander is tied with Tampa Bay lefty Matt Moore for the best record in the AL. "Ive felt really good up to this point," Buchholz said. "Im just trying to ride the wave." Pitching for the first time in 11 days, his only dicey moment came when he jumped away from the bag to avoid contact on Brett Gardners leadoff groundout to first base. Buchholz also beat Kuroda (6-4) at Yankee Stadium on April 3 and has given up one run over 12 innings in two starts against New York this year. Ortiz led off the sixth with his 10th home run, a high and long drive that landed in the raised bleachers in right field. He took his time trotting around the bases. "What went further, the ball or your bat flip?" teammate Will Middlebrooks said, needling Orrtiz as he walked by.dddddddddddd After a single and a flyout, heavy showers suddenly poured down and fans scurried hastily up the aisles for cover. Plate umpire Vic Carapazza called for the tarp almost immediately, and most Yankees players jogged off the field. But not Kuroda. Dejected and probably aware his outing was over, he walked slowly off the mound with his head down. Without even looking up, he underhanded the game ball into the third row of now-empty seats before descending into the dugout. Boone Logan relieved after a 37-minute delay and got two quick outs. Four minutes later it started pouring again, even harder this time, and the tarp went back on. After a 45-minute wait -- and some of the loudest thunder and lightning imaginable -- the game was called. In the dugout, even a few Yankees got jumpy when the thunder boomed and lightning crackled. "I heard guys buckled a bit during the storm," manager Joe Girardi said. "I wasnt there but the satellite TV in my office went out." Consecutive singles to start the fourth by Dustin Pedroia and Ortiz put runners at the corners for Mike Napoli, who got his team-leading 45th RBI with a groundout. Iglesias sent the first pitch of the fifth to left for his second major league home run in 127 at-bats. Ortiz later connected for No. 411 of his career. The 23-year-old Iglesias is considered a defensive whiz at shortstop -- with a much better glove than bat. But hes been subbing at third base for the injured Middlebrooks and is 14 for 33 (.424) since he was recalled May 24 from Triple-A Pawtucket. And while Ortiz has been a Yankees nemesis almost since the day he joined the Red Sox in 2003, the surprising Iglesias has quickly become a particular pest to them this season with a .545 average in 22 at-bats. "I wanted to go up and in to him but I didnt," Kuroda said through a translator. "Both home runs were bad pitches." NOTES: Boston CF Jacoby Ellsbury missed the entire series with tightness in his left groin. After a day off Monday, the team hopes to have him back Tuesday night for the opener of a three-game series against AL West-leading Texas. ... Shane Victorino (strained left hamstring) is not running full speed yet and manager John Farrell said its "probably a little premature" to say the speedy outfielder will go out on a minor league rehab assignment Monday or Tuesday. ... Pedroia has started all 58 games this season. ... Boston is 21-21 at the new Yankee Stadium. ... New York LHP Andy Pettitte (4-3, 3.83 ERA) is set to come off the disabled list and start Monday night against Cleveland RHP Justin Masterson (8-3, 3.07).
