England's Luke Donald, set to become world number one with a victory, has fired a six-under-par 65 to grab a one-stroke lead after 36 holes of the US PGA Heritage tournament.
Donald, currently ranked third, would move past current top man Martin Kaymer of Germany with a victory and also finish ahead of countryman Lee Westwood no matter how Westwood fares this week at the Indonesian Masters.
Donald opened with back-to-back birdies and also birdied the par-five fifth, par-three seventh and par-four ninth to make the turn in 31.
After taking a bogey to start the back nine, Donald answered with a birdie at 11 and another at the par-5 15th to stretch his lead, finishing on 10-under 132 after two rounds.
American Garrett Willis, who led after firing a first-round 64, birdied the 18th hole to stand alone in second place after the second round on 133.
Colombian Camilo Villegas, Australian Jason Day, defending champion Jim Furyk and his US countryman Chad Campbell shared third on 134 with England's Ian Poulter and American Ben Crane on 135.
