MILWAUKEE — Corey Pavin waited, watched and slept. The hardest part for him was simply wasting time.

Pavin maintained a one-shot lead over Jason Bohn in the hot and humid U.S. Bank Championship on Friday but still has work to do in the second round on Saturday.

Pavin, who opened with a 9-under 61 on Thursday, was 12 under with seven holes left when play was suspended because of darkness.

"I'm ready for dinner, that's for sure," the 46-year-old Pavin said. "The hardest thing is just wasting time until you tee off."

Bohn was 11 under after playing 35 holes Friday. He shot a 65 in the first round and added a 64 in the second on the Brown Deer Park course.

Jeff Sluman (65), B.J. Trahan (65), Jerry Kelly (67), Nathan Green (64) and Arjun Atwal were 9 under. Atwal had seven holes left in the second round.

Exactly half the players, 78, were unable to complete the round.

Bohn had already played 33 holes before finding enough energy to finish his round with back-to-back birdies, including a sand save on No. 18 as the temperature reached 90 degrees with a heat index of 96.

"It was 35 holes of long, hot golf," Bohn said. "I can't tell you how many bottles of water I drank today. It never seemed like it was enough."
