RICHMOND, Va. -- Bernhard Langer shot a 5-under 67 on Friday in his return from a left knee injury, and Tom Byrum had a 65 to take the Dominion Charity Classic lead.Langer missed the PGA Tour Champions playoff opener last week in California after re-aggravating the injury at home doing routine spinning.The 59-year-old German star leads the 50-and-over tour with four victories and has wrapped up the season money title with $2,697,459. He tops the Charles Schwab Cup Playoffs standings, 1,038,941 points ahead of second-place Colin Montgomerie.Byrum birdied three of the final four holes on The Country Club of Virginias James River Course. He had a one-stroke lead over Miguel Angel Jimenez.My putter was really good, Byrum said. I didnt hit a putt that I didnt feel good about other than the first hole. The first hole, I three putted. I made a bad stroke at the second putt. After that everything kind of settled down and everything got going and it was good. Drove it in the fairway, which you need to do. Hit my irons on the greens because you can hit the greens from the fairways, the rough is tough.Played well, played solid all day long and no mistakes, Jimenez said. One stroke behind the leader, two rounds to go. Nice.Langer birdied the final two holes.Jay Haas, Rocco Mediate and Scott McCarron matched Langer at 67. The 62-year-old Haas won a month ago in Newport Beach, California, to become the second-oldest winner in tour history.I wasnt so sharp from tee to green, Haas said. Managed to keep it in the fairway most of the time, but when I did miss greens, I pitched nicely and got some saves. Only had one slip up on 16, but overall, very pleased.Tom Pernice Jr., the winner last week at Sherwood, topped the group at 68. Montgomerie shot 71.The playoff field was cut from 72 to 54 for the event, and Tom Lehman dropped out because of an elbow injury. The top 36 after the week will qualify for the season-ending Charles Schwab Cup Championship next week in Scottsdale, Arizona.Each dollar earned in the first two events is worth two points -- first place is worth $305,000 and 610,000 points this week -- and is added to the regular-season total.

We do realise there is support that might not be there if the team doesnt perform. But we want to be optimistic. We were realistic in deciding on this programme. It is meant to continue, even if there were to be any cut from the ICC in terms of the financial support they give. ' ' '
