STATELINE, Nev. (AP) — Actor Jack Wagner extended his lead with four birdies and Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo moved into second with one of the best rounds of the day Saturday at the American Century Celebrity Golf Championship at Lake Tahoe.

Wagner became the only non-professional athlete to win the 54-hole tournament five years ago and could become the first winner to lead wire-to-wire since the event switched to a modified Stableford scoring format in 2003.

He shot a 71 in Saturday’s second round, which translated into 52 points in the system that awards six points for eagle, three for birdie, one for par, none for bogey and minus-two for anything below that.

Romo also had four birdies during a round of 70, good for 46 points. Chris Chandler is next with 42.
