Allenby motors on to take solo lead in Hawaii
Jan. 15, 2010 - 10:10 PM ET
Robert Allenby chased his opening 65 with a 3-under-par 35-32=67 in the second round of the Sony Open.
Allenby was 2-over after four holes, but didn't slip again, carding five birdies and nine pars the rest of the way. Today's ball-striking was below average, especially for him - five (of 14) fairways, 11 GIR - but hit clutch putting has kept him in the hunt. This goes all the way back to his playoff victory over Henrik Stenson at last month's Nedbank Golf Challenge. Allenby finished with a one-stroke clubhouse lead today.
