Luke Donald misses cut by one stroke
Ryan Palmer leads by one in Sony Open on Hawaii
FROM THE EUROPEAN TOUR WEBSITE
Australian Robert Allenby is hot on the heels of American Ryan Palmer, who sneaked in with a four under par round of 66 late in the day to take the halfway lead at the Sony Open in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Early starter Allenby had led the second round for much of the day at Waialae Country Club before late finisher Chad Campbell matched him at eight under par.
Even later than Campbell, Palmer got to nine under for the tournament with birdies at the 17th and 18th.
Allenby had opened his US PGA Tour season with a five under par 65 late on Thursday to take a six-way share of the overnight lead, including Palmer, and he followed it with a three under 67 to get to the clubhouse at eight under at the first full-field event on the 2010 US PGA Tour.
Campbell then posted a bogey free 64 before Palmer's 66 took control, defending champion Zach Johnson bringing up the rear with a birdie at his last, the par five ninth, for a 67 to get him to eight under despite a triple bogey at the 17th, his eighth of the day.
World No 3 Steve Stricker and fellow American Jeff Quinney matched Allenby's second round 67 and were lying two strokes behind Palmer alongside compatriot and another of the six first round front-runners John Merrick, who shot a 68.
Allenby credited some solid putting on an otherwise wayward day for keeping him in contention for a first title on US soil since winning his fourth US PGA Tour event in 2001.
“If you're hitting it good or hitting it bad, if you're not putting it well you're not going to score well,” Allenby said. “Today was just purely that I putted well.
“I hit a few good shots but I think I only hit three fairways for the whole day and about 11 greens whereas yesterday I hit a fair chunk of the fairways and hit a lot of greens.
“So it was just one of those days. I had to grind it out and I did that very well.”
Allenby was still struggling on an ankle he twisted when stepping off a kerb in Honolulu on Monday.
“The swelling's down but I'm still very gun-shy on trying to make any decent swings,” he said.
“It's just a question of staying patient. I know I'm going to hit a lot of bad shots, that's just the way it is.
“I can't rotate properly and I can't come through the ball properly. I'm just making do with what I've got and just relying on my short game really.”
Masters Tournament champion Angel Cabrera is among those a further shot back on six under after a 68.
England's Justin Rose was another to make a big move with a second-round 65 to improve to three under.
Rose’s fellow Englishman Brian Davis moved to one under following a 69 but Luke Donald missed the cut despite posting a two under 68 that left The Ryder Cup star at two over par with the cut line at one over.
Luke Donald had a 68 for 142 - but missed the cut by one stroke.
