Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama shot an 8-under-par 65 for the second day in a row Friday to carry a one-shot lead into the weekend in The Sentry, the PGA Tour season opener at The Plantation Course in Kapalua, Hawaii.
Matsuyama had a bogey-free round to move to 16-under 130 for the tournament. He birdied two of the three par-3 holes.
Collin Morikawa also had a 65 to go to 15 under. He had a chance to pull even after making five consecutive birdies near the end of his round, but he settled for par on the par-5 18th hole.
Maverick McNealy (64) moved to 14 under to join Canada’s Corey Conners (66), Belgium’s Thomas Detry (65) and first-round leader Tom Hoge (68) in a tie for third place.
Detry’s highlights included reaching the par-4 14th with his drive and sinking an 11-foot eagle putt.
Among a group of golfers with the best rounds Friday were Keegan Bradley, who drained a 29-foot eagle putt on No. 18, and Wyndham Clark. They both shot 64.
Bradley and Clark are at 13 under in a four-way tie for seventh place with Cameron Young (67) and England’s Harry Hall (65).
