BOISE, Idaho -- Andrew Beef Johnston shot an 8-under 63 on Friday to take a two-stroke lead in the Albertsons Boise Open , putting the bearded Englishmen in position to wrap up a PGA Tour card.The 27-year-old Johnston birdied the first four holes in the round that started on No. 10.I hadnt even woken up. I was still half asleep, Johnston said.Johnston finished with 10 birdies and two bogeys to reach 13-under 129 at Hillcrest in the second of four Web.com Tour Finals events. He won the Spanish Open in April and was eighth in the British Open in July.Three-time PGA Tour winner Scott Stallings and Argentinas Miguel Angel Carballo were tied for second.

Im not going to give up playing in Europe, either. Im going to play both sides. If I can do that, its going to make for a great year next year.The top 25 players on the Web.com Tour regular-season money list earned PGA Tour cards.

I was just a bit more dialed in and I think just played slightly better. It was three shots different from yesterday and sometimes it can be such a small difference.Stallings was sixth in the DAP ChampionshipLast week was a huge step in right direction for me, Stallings said. To be able to put a few weeks in a row together is nice. Its motivating and encouraging, because I feel like its been there a while and it doesnt always happen on our time.Sam Ryder and Keith Mitchell, tied for the first-round lead with Adam Schenk at 64, each shot 68 to drop into a tie for third at 10 under with Canadas Hughes Mackenzie (64).Schenk was another stroke back after a 69.DAP Championship winner Bryson DeChambeau missed the cut with rounds of 69 and 71.
