Bjorn takes one shot lead halfway point

Danish golfer Thomas Bjorn held a one-stroke lead at the halfway mark of the $1.6 million Heineken Classic at the Vines Resort here today.

Bjorn, who won this event two years ago, started the day at four under and repeated that effort with another 68, highlighted by six birdies in the last 10 holes.

A birdie on the par five 18th saw him moved him to eight-under 136, one stroke clear of Australasian Order of Merit leader Michael Campbell of New Zealand.

Sweden's Johan Skold was the early clubhouse leader with a 67 to be six under and was later joined by Germany's Alex Cejka, who fired the tournament's best round, a 66.

Australians Michael Clayton (70), Peter O'Malley (71) and Stephen Leaney (69) were locked on five-under 139 with Austrian Markus Brier.
