Luke Donald in the mix but Russell Knox jusst
misses halfway cut in Honolulu
FROM BBC SPORT
England's
former world number one Luke Donald lies two shots off the lead at the
halfway point of the Sony Open in Honolulu, Hawaii after a second-round 65 for 10-under-par 130.
Leader
Brandt Snedeker, who had a share of the lead after the opening round,
is on 12 under par 128 over the par-70 course - one clear of fellow United States player Kevin
Kisner.Donald, pictured right, five under par for the day after coming home in 31, is now 10 under, level with Americans Zach Johnson, Zac Blair and Chez Reavie.
Snedeker was third at last week's Tournament of Champions in Hawaii.
His short game helped him take the lead on day two as he holed out from 15 foot on his first hole, chipped in from 35 feet on his 12th, and then had a 20-footer at the next on the way to match Donald's five-under-par round of 65.
"This is why we spend so much time away from our families as well as so much time on the golf course, [working] to be in contention and have a chance to win at the weekend," he said.
Fiji's Vijay Singh, 52, who is hoping to become the oldest winner on the PGA Tour, is four off the lead after a one-under round of 69.
Singh had shared the early lead with Snedeker, Kisner, Ricky Barnes and Morgan Hoffman after the quintet al
l hit 63s in their first round.
Irishman Padraig Harrington (66-68) and England's Greg Owen (69-65) are tied for 25th place on six-under 134.
Russell Knox (73-65 for two-under 138) missed the cut by one stroke.
Northern Ireland's Graeme McDowell had another bad tournament by his standards.He shot 70-73 for three-over 143
