Stuard cards another 65

Brian Stuard had his fourth consecutive round of 65 at the Sony Open in Honolulu. Too bad it’s only Friday.

Stuard finished his second round with a hybrid into 2 feet for eagle and a 5-under 65. That gave him a one-shot lead over Marc Leishman of Australia and Hideto Tanihara (65) of Japan on another gorgeous day on Oahu.

Stuard, who was at 10-under 130, had a 65-65 weekend at Waialae a year ago when he tied for fifth. Leishman had a 64.
