A late dropped shot left England’s John Parry one shot off the midway lead within the PGA Tour season-opening Sony Open in Hawaii.
Parry recovered from two dropped strokes after the flip with back-to-back birdies to take a share of the lead earlier than dropping one other shot on the sixteenth.
His second-round 68 leaves him on eight-under-par, one behind a five-way tie for the lead which incorporates defending champion Nick Taylor of Canada and Belgium’s Adrien Dumont de Chassart.
“The wind was strong and with some gusts,” Taylor mentioned. “A lot of the holes were relatively crosswind, so it was tough to get the yardages correctly.
“Typically it might harm, typically it might assist. Virtually needed to time your photographs accurately and get a little bit little bit of luck, too.”
Parry’s fellow countryman Harry Corridor is 2 photographs additional again, whereas Scotland’s Robert MacIntyre completed with two bogeys – after dropping two photographs on the second – to sit down on two-under-par.
That’s stage with with former Masters and US PGA champion Vijay Singh, who made the lower on his return to the PGA Tour on the age of 62.
