Frank Bensel of Danbury shot his second straight 3-under 68 to stand at 6-under 136, good enough to be the leader in the second round of the Connecticut Open.

Bensel, the 2009 champion, missed last year's event.

Despite tornado warnings in the northern part of the state, weather still very calm here in Fairfield at Brooklawn Country Club as we try to finish the round. Only eight groups left to finish.
