American Anthony Kim fired a sparkling six-under 64 to grab a share of the lead with Colombia's Camilo Villegas after the second round of the Honda Classic on Friday.
Kim, pictured, notched seven birdies and a single bogey to share the day's lowest round on a cool but calm day at the PGA National Champions course in Palm Beach Gardens.
"I'm very happy with the way I played the last two days, not just today," Kim said. "Hopefully I can stay on this path, my game is starting to show signs of life."
Kim joined Villegas on an eight-under total of 132 after the in-form Colombian set an early target by returning a four-under 66 for the second straight day.
Former world number one Vijay Singh finished one stroke adrift after shooting a 66.
The big Fijian had looked headed for a rough day after back-to-back bogeys on the fifth and sixth holes but played flawless golf the rest of day to sit alone on seven-under 133.
Singh was unlucky to miss a share of the lead after rolling in a monster 65-foot birdie putt on the 17th, but leaving a 12-foot birdie hanging on the lip on 18.
