Matt Every, who was suspended by the PGA Tour in 2010 for three months after being arrested on drug charges, birdied his last three holes to move two strokes clear in Friday's second round of the Sony Open here. The 28-year-old American fired a flawless six-under-par 64 at a breezy Waialae Country Club for a 10-under total of 130 and the early lead in the first full-field event of the season on the US circuit. Every covered his back nine in five-under 30 to finish two ahead of Canada's David Hearn (66). Zimbabwe's Brendon de Jonge was a further stroke back at seven-under with American Pat Perez (67). While Every rocketed to the top of the leaderboard on Friday, first-round leader Graham DeLaet of Canada was heading the other way. After opening with a blistering 63, DeLaet was three-over for the second round after eight holes and six strokes off the pace. American world No. 5 Steve Stricker briefly held a share of the lead at seven-under before slipping to five-under after carding a 69. Trio share Joburg Open lead Richard Finch scored a hole in one as he and George Coetzee joined Robert Rock at the top of Joburg Open leaderboard Saturday while reigning US Masters champion Charl Schwartzel missed the cut. Englishman Finch got his ace at 12 on the tougher east layout in a two-course championship en route to a six-under-par 66 that also included five birdies and a bgoey as the storm-battered second round finished half a day late. South African Coetzee snatched six birdies and dropped one shot in his 67. Rock, who completed his second-round 67 Friday over the par-71 west course, compatriot Finch and Coetzee are on 132 – one stroke ahead of South Africans Retief Goosen, Branden Grace and Jbe' Kruger in the 1.3-million-euro event.
