Anthony Kim carded a second round 64 to join Camilo Villegas at the top of the leaderboard on eight under at the halfway stage of the Honda Classic (Kim & Villegas both 3/1 The Honda Classic In-Play) at Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.

Argentinian star Villegas carded his second consecutive 66 which allowed US Ryder Cup star Kim to move level with him as the race for the title intensifies.

Kim made seven birdies during his second round and was delighted to move into contention ahead of his third round two balls against Villegas (Kim 21/20, Villegas 20/21, Tie 8/1 The Honda Classic 3rd Round 2 Balls).

“I feel really good,” he said. “I’ve been working hard on my game, and the last couple of months I’ve really started to play better.

“I’m happy to have another opportunity to put four good ones together and hopefully have a chance to win the tournament on the back nine.”

Vijay Singh (6/1 Honda Classic In-Play) is a shot behind the leaders after a second-round 66 while Jerry Kelly (16/1) sits on six under par following his 65.

Camilo Villegas will take a three shot lead into the final day at the Honda Classic as the Colombian (8/15 to win the tournament) bids to win his third PGA Tour title.  

The 28-year-old was tied for the lead with Anthony Kim (28/1 to win The Masters) going into the third round but raced into the lead with four birdies on the front nine.

While the back nine weren’t as good for Villegas as he made three bogeys in the first five holes he made a birdie at the 16th to put him firmly in control on eleven-under, three shots ahead of Nathan Green and Vijay Singh who are both on eight-under.

Villegas says his form on the front nine had surprised himself but was disappointed he hadn’t managed to get further ahead by dropping three shots on the back nine.

“Four-under on the front was pretty unbelievable the way it was playing,” Villegas said. “And then a couple hiccups there on the back, which is – I mean, you always wish that didn’t happen, but it’s golf and they happen.”

Elsewhere on the scoreboard the American duo of George McNeill (5/4 to win his fourth round two balls) and Matt Every (4/6) kept themselves in with a shout after both fired rounds of 69 to put them four behind Villegas  

Northern Ireland’s Graeme McDowell is the top European player going into the final round after a score of 71 on Saturday to leave him four-under overall.
