Alex Cejka goes four shots clear

with second-round 67

FROM THE AOL GOLF NEWS SERVICE
Germany's Alex Cejka held a commanding clubhouse lead at TPC Sawgrass in Florida today as the second round of The Players Championship took shape and some big names flirted with the cut.
Cejka, still searching for his maiden PGA Tour victory after playing full time in the United States since 2003, began the day at six under par, a shot behind overnight leader Ben Crane.
The 39-year-old quickly moved past his American rival on the par-72, 7,215yard Players Stadium course with three birdies in a row between the second and fourth holes and went on to shoot a 67, 11 under for the tournament and four shots clear of the field, despite needing an epidural injection to ease the pain in a long-troubled neck.
Americans Kevin Na and Jason Dufner were in the clubhouse on seven under after a 66 and 70 respectively, with Masters champion Angel Cabrera also done for the day after a 65 that took him to four shots behind Cejka.

The Argentinian had returned to action last week following his Augusta National play-off success over Kenny Perry and Chad Campbell but missed the cut at the Quail Hollow Championship and bounced back from an opening 72.
Crane briefly stayed in touch with fellow early starter Cejka but a double bogey at the par-four 18th left him with a 73, taking him back to six under, alongside Australia's Robert Allenby, who shot a 66.
Camilo Villegas of Colombia had got to seven under before a double bogey 7 at the par-5 16th led to a level-par 73, five under at the halfway stage.
Sweden's Robert S Johnson and American John Mallinger were among the late starters, each beginning at six under with England's Ian Poulter, Retief Goosen of South Africa and Americans David Toms, Scott Verplank and Jonathan Byrd starting at five under.
Johnson and Byrd had both moved to seven under after 10 holes while Poulter birdied his second on the 11th hole to reach six under.
Byrd got to eight under after 12 holes and Poulter improved another stroke to seven under with a birdie at the 16th. England's Paul Casey will start the third round at five under following a 69 that consisted of five birdies and two bogeys.
