Welcome to the kinder, gentler Honda Classic.
Anthony Kim was one of four players to match the best Honda round shot on the PGA National Champion course with a 64, Camilo Villegas shot 66 for the second consecutive day, and they were tied at 8-under 132 atop the leaderboard after the second round of the Honda, where the only thing that improved more than the weather Friday was the scoring.
"Trust me, it's a tough golf course," Villegas said.
Since the Honda moved to the Jack Nicklaus redesign in 2007, there's never been an easier day to get around. Thursday was marked by wind gusts over 30 mph; Friday merely had occasionally strong breezes and little else.
Vijay Singh (66) was a stroke back at 7 under, and Jerry Kelly (65) was alone in fourth at 6 under.
