Collin Morikawa leads by two shots at the halfway stage of the Tournament of Champions in Hawaii.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The American is yet to card a bogey at the event and shot a seven-under-par 66 on Friday to move to 16 under.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Scottie Scheffler and JJ Spaun are two shots behind leader Morikawa at the PGA Tour’s first event of the year, which has increased prize money of \u00a311.8m.<\/span><\/p>\n

England’s Matt Fitzpatrick is five shots off the pace after a 69 in the second round at the Plantation Course.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ireland’s Seamus Power also shot a 69 and sits joint 12th on nine under.<\/span><\/p>\n

American Xander Schauffele withdrew partway through the second round because of an ongoing back injury.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 39-man elite field is comprised of last year’s tournament winners and the top 30 in the FedEx Cup and includes eight of the world’s top 10 players.<\/span><\/p>\n

World number one Rory McIlroy decided against playing, while Australia’s 2022 champion Cameron Smith is suspended from the PGA Tour after joining LIV Golf at the end of last summer.<\/span><\/p>\n
