Kim, Villegas share Honda Classic halfway lead

FROM THE AOL GOLF NEWS SERVICE
Anthony Kim powered to the top of the leaderboard at the Honda Classic on a good day for low scoring at Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.
Kim carded a six-under-par 64 in his second round, equalling the course record, and shared the lead at eight under with Camilo Villegas of Colombia.
Villegas went round in his second successive 66, as two of the brightest emerging stars on the PGA Tour - Villegas is 28 and Kim is 24 - led from one of its most senior players.
Fijian Vijay Singh, 47, is chasing his first win since 2008 and strengthened his chances with a round of 66 to follow his opening 67.
Kim's fellow American Jerry Kelly stood in fourth place on six under after a round of 65, and overnight leader Nathan Green dropped back into a share of fifth place on five under after a level-par 70.
Alongside Green in a group of five were former Masters champion Mike Weir and Northern Ireland's Graeme McDowell after rounds of 64 and 67 respectively.
Two other players shot 64 - Canadian Stephen Ames and England's Paul Casey - and they both shot up into a share of 12th place.
Co-leader Kim was pleased with his round, after struggling in terms of scoring in the early weeks of the season.
He said: "I feel really good. I've been working hard on my game, and the last couple of months I've really started to play better. I haven't put four good rounds together. I'm happy to have another opportunity to putt four good ones together and hopefully have a chance to win the tournament on the back nine."
