Marc Leishman leads the pack after the second round of the Sentry Tournament of Champions in Hawaii as he followed Thursday's 67 with a round of 69 on Friday.
The former PGA rookie of the year did not drop a shot in Kapalua and carded four birdies — two in the front nine and two on the back — to go 10-under for the tournament.
The 34-year-old Australian is tied for first place with American Brian Harman, who has gone round twice in 68 and holed a 78-foot chip for birdie on the par-5 15th.
Dustin Johnson, the current world number one, is in third after also going round in 68. A shaky start with dropped shots on the 3rd and 4th was soon overcome, with seven birdies across the remaining 14 holes.
