eun returned a bogey-free five-under 65 to take a one-shot lead at the midway mark of the Honda Classic on Friday. Playing the back nine first at the PGA National Resort in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, Yang turned in a steady outward nine highlighted by a birdie at the par-four 12th. But Yang, who beat an elite field that included Tiger Woods to win the HSBC Champions tournament in 2007, caught fire at the turn reeling off three straight birdies from the first then picked up another shot at the seventh to get to seven-under 133. Sitting one shot back on 134 are first round leader Australian Robert Allenby (68) and Americans Will MacKenzie and Jeff Overton. British teenager Rory McIlroy, playing the back nine first, finished with a two-under 68 to sit just five off the pace at 138. World number two Sergio Garcia of Spain labored to a two-over 72 but remained in the hunt on one-under 139. Hull leads by two Australian Katherine Hull shot a six-under-par 66 at the HSBC Women's Champions on Saturday to take a two-stroke lead going into the final round of the $2 million LPGA event in Singapore. Hull had to wait more than two hours to complete her final two holes after a massive storm lashed the Tanah Merah Country Club, but a fine approach on 18 set her up for a birdie putt to give herself a cushion over close friend Angela Stanford. Paula Creamer finished five shots off the pace.
