Three share lead at Sony Open, as Power makes the cut

Austin Eckroat, South Korea's Byeong Hun An and China's Carl Yuan all birdied their final hole of the second round on Friday in Honolulu to share the lead at the Sony Open in Hawaii.

An posted a 6-under-par 64 at Waialae Country Club, leaving him at 9-under131. Yuan was 5 under for the day, and Eckroat was 4 under.

The trio have a one-shot edge on Ben Griffin, Stewart Cink, Keith Mitchell, Taylor Montgomery, Kurt Kitayama, Chris Kirk, Grayson Murray, Germany's Stephan Jaeger, France's Matthieu Pavon and first-round leader Cam Davis of Australia.
