Donald shares lead in Hawaii

Luke Donald shared the lead with Paul Goydos at 11-under 129 at the end of the second round of the Sony Open in Hawaii on Friday.

Donald carded a four-under-par 66 while Goydos a seven-under 63 to go two shots ahead of Chad Campbell.

"The first 12 holes was a mixture of some good shots, but a lot of scrappy shots as well," said the low key Englishman. "I made a lot of good putts for par, which kept the momentum going, and was able to finish strongly the last six holes.

"I hit a nice drive on 13 and that got my confidence back a bit. From there, I didn't really hit a weak shot coming in."

On a day when 16-year-old Tadd Fujikawa became the second youngest player to make a cut on tour, Goydos made five consecutive birdies mid round on his way to a seven-under-par 63 in a testing breeze at Waialae Country Club.

Goydos, whose low ball flight is ideally suited to playing in wind, eased into his round with six straight pars, before beginning his run at the par-four seventh, where he hit a five-iron to six feet.

"It's funny how this game works. At (Numbers four, five and six) I missed all three greens, hit it very mediocre," said the 42-year-old Californian, who once worked as a substitute teacher during a lean spell in the early 1990s.

"Then I birdied the next five holes, so I look at those three (previous) holes almost being more important."

Goydos and Donald played in the afternoon, when the wind was at its zenith, while Campbell was out in the morning, when conditions were not quite as tough, although still challenging.

"I chipped in for birdie on (Number two) and that got me going," said Campbell, who was tied for the lead going into the final round last year, but finished a distant five strokes behind winner David Toms.

Meanwhile, Michelle Wie produced another mediocre performance, shooting 76 to finish at 14-over 154. Only two players shot higher, while two others were disqualified. It is the fourth successive men's event the 17-year-old has finished near last.

"It's been very disappointing," she said. "I tried my best and that's all I can do. I have a lot of game in me (but) it's just not showing now."

While Wie was making an early exit, fellow Hawaiian Fujikawa gave the local fans something to cheer about, making eagle at the last to shoot a 66 that left him eight strokes from the lead.
