YE Yang
Yang, 37, is still chasing a first win on the PGA Tour

South Korea's Yong-Eun Yang fired a second-round 65 to grab a one-shot lead at the halfway stage of the Honda Classic in Palm Beach Gardens.

Yang edged to seven under to leapfrog overnight leader Robert Allenby of Australia and Americans Will MacKenzie and Jeff Overton.

Northern Irish teenager Rory McIlroy maintained his challenge with a round of 68 to finish two under.

Spain's Sergio Garcia carded a two-over 72 to slip back to one under.

Darren Clarke dropped back to one over with a 71, while England's Greg Owen climbed to one over after a 69.

Ernie Els carded a level-par 70 to make the cut on the number at three over but England's Brian Davis (72) and Justin Rose (79) and Scotland's Martin Laird (76) all missed out on the weekend.
