Kyle Stanley Leads Over Sabbatini at The Honda Classic 2011

In Palm Beach Gardens on Friday, Kyle Stanley pieced together a 4-under Round 2 to take the lead at the Honda Classic. Thanks to a terrific 6-under round, though, Rory Sabbatini is right behind him on the leaderboard.

Stanley shot a 4-under 66 to take a one-shot lead over Rory Sabbatini, who tied the tournament record at PGA National with a 64.

Kyle Stanley plays a shot on the 9th hole during the second round of The Honda Classic at PGA National Resort and Spa on March 4, 2011 in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.

The Leader: Kyle Stanley (who?) is a former Clemson Tiger and a member of the 2007 Walker Cup Team. Is he young? Here's a hint: His favorite athletes are Kobe Bryant and LeBron James. He had a nice top 15 finish last week at the Tour stop in Mexico so this isn't a complete fluke. Despite his 36 hole lead, though, he's not the favorite in Vegas and I'm not picking him to hold up this weekend, either. He is making a name for himself, though, with a strong performance at a hell of a tough course to score on.

Sabbatini, who hails from South Africa, had the best round of the day. His 6-under puts him at 5-under for the tournament, a stroke behind Stanley. He's on the hunt for his sixth career PGA Tour win, and his first since May of 2009.

Stanley, seeking his first PGA Tour title, was at 6-under 134. Sabbatini shot a 64, matching the tournament's best round since it moved to PGA National in 2007.

Here is how the top of the leaderboard looks entering Saturday's action:

1. Kyle Stanley (-6)

2. Rory Sabbatini (-5)

3. Charl Schwartzel (-3)

4. Four tied (-2)

8. Five tied (-1)

The 23-year-old Stanley played at Clemson, turned pro in 2009 and had a career-best 13th-place finish last week in the Mayakoba Golf Classic.

"I feel like I've been playing well all year but haven't quite put four good rounds together," he said. "I'm getting better, and that's the main thing."
