English star Luke Donald moved a step closer to the No. 1 ranking Friday, shooting a 6-under 65 on Friday to take the lead halfway through The Heritage.
Donald is the world's third-ranked golfer behind top-rated Martin Kaymer and Lee Westwood. However, Donald would jump to the top with a win at Harbour Town Golf Links, no matter how Westwood fares this weekend at the Indonesian Masters.
Donald, 33, hasn't let talk of No. 1 distract him through two rounds, finishing at 10-under 132 for a one-shot lead over first-round leader Garrett Willis.
Masters runner-up Jason Day (65), defending champion Jim Furyk (66), Camilo Villegas (68) and Chad Campbell (69) were 8 under. Ben Crane (66) and Ian Poulter (66) were three strokes behind Donald.
U.S. Open champion Graeme McDowell, ranked fifth in the world, was five shots behind after a 69. No. 10 Matt Kuchar shot a 72 to fall into a tie for 43rd, eight shots in back of Donald.
At Savannah, Georgia, Tom Kite and Gil Morgan shot a 10-under 62 in better-ball play for a share of the first-round lead with Ted Schulz and Gary Hallberg in the Champions Tour's Legends of Golf.
Kite and Morgan birdied their first five holes, while Schulz and Hallberg shot a 30 on the back nine at The Club at Savannah Harbor, an island layout in the Savannah River.
The teams of Scott Hoch and Kenny Perry, Hal Sutton and Larry Mize, David Frost and Michael Allen, and Sandy Lyle and Peter Senior opened with 63s.
Defending champions Mark O'Meara and Nick Price had a 64. Tom Lehman, a two-time winner this year, teamed with Corey Pavin to also shoot a 64.
At Chengdu, China, Jamie Donaldson shot an 11-under 61 to take a one-stroke lead in the China Open. The Welshman had a 12-under 131 total on the Luxehills International course.
Denmark's Jeppe Huldahl (65), France's Gregory Havret (66), Belgium's Nicolas Colsaerts (67), South Africa's Keith Horne (69), Ireland's Peter Lawrie (64), India's Jeev Milkha Singh (66) and Northern Ireland's Gareth Maybin were tied for second. Spain's Sergio Garcia (67) was 10 under.
Three-time major winner Padraig Harrington (73) and defending champion Y.E. Yang (75) missed the cut in the event sanctioned by the European Tour, China Golf Association and OneAsia Tour.
At Jakarta, Indonesia, English star Lee Westwood birdied the final hole for a 6-under 66 and a one-stroke lead Saturday after the completion of the suspended second round of the Indonesian Masters.
The second-ranked Westwood had two holes left when the round was suspended Friday because of thunder and lightning at Royale Jakarta Golf Club. Westwood had a 10-under total in the Asian Tour event.
Malaysia's Shaaban Hussin (67) and South Korea's Park Hyun-Bin (68) were tied for second.
Westwood will reclaim the top spot in the world from Martin Kaymer with a victory if Luke Donald fails to win The Heritage.
