Sony Open in Hawaii 2007

Britain's Luke Donald had to settle for a share of the lead after the second round of the Sony Open on Friday, despite a storming finish featuring three birdies in the last four holes.

One stroke clear at the start of the day, Donald ended it deadlocked with American Paul Goydos as the pair finished on 11-under-par 129 at a blustery but sun-drenched Waialae Country Club.

Englishman Donald fired a 66 while journeyman Goydos, boosted by five successive birdies round the turn, shot a joint best-of-the-week 63.

American Chad Campbell, who tied for second at Waialae last year behind winner David Toms, was alone in third place at nine under after returning a 65.

Compatriot Charles Howell III was a further stroke back in fourth, having rolled in a seven-foot eagle putt on his final hole, the par-five ninth, for a sparkling 63.

American schoolgirl Michelle Wie, whose latest bid to make the halfway cut was left in tatters after she opened with a 78, exited the tournament after battling to a 76.

Wie was upstaged by fellow Hawaiian teenager Tadd Fujikawa, who eagled the last for a 66 to become the second youngest player to make the cut in a PGA Tour event, just four days after turning 16.

Donald, who shot a 63 in the first round, began another breezy day on the Hawaiian island of Oahu quietly with seven successive pars, before holing an eight-foot birdie putt at the par-four eighth.

Out in one-under 34, he broke clear of the pack after hitting superb approach shots to within nine feet of the flag on 15 and 16.

He finished in style, reaching the green in two at the par-five 18th and narrowly missing his eagle attempt from 27 feet.

"Today was harder for me and I didn't play as well," Donald told reporters. "It was breezy and that made the course trickier than yesterday, that's for sure.

"The first 12 holes were a mixture of good shots and a lot of scrappy shots but I was able to finish off nice and strong over the last six holes."

Goydos, whose only PGA Tour victory came at the 1996 Bay Hill Invitational, was delighted with his bogey-free display.

"It was very windy out there and I had probably one of my top-five rounds on Tour," he said.

"The key to playing well in these conditions is making putts and I didn't have a lot of problem today. It's hard to shoot a high score when you have only 28 putts."

Goydos kickstarted his five-birdie run by hitting his tee shot to six feet at the par-three seventh, and kept it going by chipping in from 50 feet after missing the green at the par-three 11th to the right.

For much of the day, Campbell held the outright lead at nine under after reeling off five birdies in a blemish-free display.

"I played pretty solid all day," three-times PGA Tour winner Campbell said. "I made some putts and, when I did miss a fairway, I always had a shot at the green."

The halfway cut fell at level-par 140 with 73 players qualifying for the weekend. Among those missing out were 2003 British Open champion Ben Curtis and Australia's Stuart Appleby, a double winner on last year's PGA Tour.

Wie fell short by 14 strokes, her fourth failure at the Sony Open and her 12th overall playing alongside the men.

"I tried my best and that's all I can do," the 17-year-old said after a round featuring eight bogeys and two birdies.

"I have a lot of game in me, it's just not showing now. Once it comes out, I think it's going to be good."
