England's Steve Webster fired a five- under 67 Friday in the second round of the Johnnie Walker Championship, vaulting himself up the leaderboard from a tie for 14th place into a share of the lead. Webster and overnight leader Mark Foster, also of England, stand at six-under- par 138 heading into the weekend, one stroke clear of Gregory Bourdy and Sam Little for first place. Ian Garbutt is alone in fifth place at four-under-par 140, and a group of six golfers share sixth place one stroke further back. The cut was set at plus- four, with 64 players failing to move on. Webster, who began his round at one-under-par, collected seven birdies Friday. He opened on the back nine with consecutive pars before a birdie at No. 12 put him at two-under. A two-time winner on tour, Webster bogeyed a pair of par-threes before heading to the front nine, but a birdie at the 16th helped him make the turn at minus- one. Consecutive birdies to start his second nine moved him to three-under, and three more birdies in his final four holes gave him his share of the lead. "My mind is pretty good on the course, so if I can keep that up, I know I can be there right in the end," Webster said. Webster has compiled 10 top-20 finishes so far this year, including his first European Tour win at the Telecom Italia Open in May. He will be in the field at the PGA Championship next week -- his first tournament in the United States, and only his second visit there after celebrating his 30th birthday in Las Vegas earlier this year. "If I am playing well I will look forward to it," Webster said. "It is going to be difficult, but if I am playing well I will love it, I know I will." Foster opened his round with a bogey at the par-four first to fall to three- under. He then strung together seven straight pars after that before a birdie at No. 9 moved him back to his overnight score of minus-four. A birdie at the par-five 12th briefly put Foster at five-under before he gave that stroke back with a bogey at No. 14. The 30-year-old Briton then rebounded with an eagle at the par-five 16th, knocking a three-wood within six feet before making his putt to move to six-under. "The eagle on 16 was the highlight," said Foster, who shot a two-under 70 on Friday. "I was playing fine but not much [was] happening. I just kept telling myself to hang in there. "I said yesterday I wasn't going to worry about other people and [I] did my job out there today. Pleased with it." Bourdy briefly climbed to the top of the leaderboard at seven-under-par before a pair of late bogeys dropped him to minus-three on the day and five-under-par 139 for the tournament. Little posted a 68 to join Bourdy in second place. Also posting a 68 in his second round was 1999 British Open champion Paul Lawrie, who is tied for 12th place at two-under-par 142. Lawrie eagled his final hole -- the ninth -- to reach minus numbers. "I am a far better player now than I was then (during his Open win in 1999)," said Lawrie. "I hit far more good shots and quality shots than I used to. But my short game was mustard back then. I would like my short game of 1999 and long game of now. That would be a nice combination." Among those not making the cut was Marc Cayeux, who tied for third at last week's Scandinavian Masters. Cayeux finished at 10-over-par 154 after rounds of 78 and 76. Also not making the weekend was Stephen Dodd, who ranks 10th on the European Tour Order of Merit. Dodd stumbled to a pair of 77s in his two rounds
