American Anthony Kim fired a sparkling six-under 64 to grab a share of the lead with Colombia's Camilo Villegas after the second round of the Honda Classic Friday. Kim notched seven birdies and a single bogey to share the day's lowest round on a cool but calm day at the PGA National Champions course in Palm Beach Gardens. Kim joined Villegas on an eight-under total of 132 after the in-form Colombian set an early target by returning a four-under 66 for the second straight day. Former world No. 1 Vijay Singh finished one stroke adrift after shooting a 66. The big Fijian had looked headed for a rough day after back-to-back bogeys on the fifth and sixth holes but played flawless golf the rest of day to sit alone on seven-under 133. Singh was unlucky to miss a share of the lead after rolling in a monster 65-foot birdie putt on the 17th, but leaving a 12-foot birdie hanging on the lip on 18. American Jerry Kelly is two off the pace after a five-under 65 while a group of five is three back including overnight leader Nathan Green of Australia (70), Canada's Mike Weir (64) and Briton Graeme McDowell who was handed a costly penalty after his round. Yang Yong-eun, who claimed his first PGA crown at last year's tournament, saw his title defense end dismally when he missed the three-over cut by six shots. The South Korean's even par 70 was not enough to recover from his horror opening round of 79. Kiradech, Davies share lead In Malaysia, Kiradech Aphibarnrat of Thailand stayed in the hunt for his first Asian Tour title after shooting a 4-under 68 Saturday to share the third-round lead at the Malaysian Open with Rhys Davies of Wales. Kiradech birdied three of his last four holes for an 11-under total of 205 at the Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club. Davies shot a 71 with a round that included three birdies and a double bogey. Two-time champion Thongchai Jaidee of Thailand, Soren Hansen of Denmark and Koreans K.J. Choi and Noh Seung-yul were one shot behind. Webb takes lead In Australia, Karrie Webb put herself in a strong position for a seventh ANZ Australian Ladies Masters title, shooting an 8-under-par 64 Saturday to take a one-stroke lead after three rounds. The Australian's total of 15-under 201 put her a shot ahead of compatriot and defending champion Katherine Hull (65) and South Korean Lee Bo-mee (63). Those three will be in Sunday's final group, pitching Hall of Famer Webb against the woman tipped to succeed her as Australia's dominant female player. Webb was in a fairway bunker on the final hole but hit a 6-iron cleanly out of the sand about 140m, over a tree and to the green and sank the 15-foot putt. Organizers say they are considering Lee's 63 a course record because they changed two tee boxes this year. But a 62 shot by Australian Kristie Smith in the tournament last year is the lowest score shot on the course before it was lengthened slightly. Two South Koreans were tied for fourth after shooting 66s - Seo Hee-kyung and Ryu So-yeon. Former American amateur star Amanda Blumenherst shot 70 Saturday and was tied for sixth, four off the lead and level with Taiwan's Yani Tseng (67). Lim Ji-na, who shared the second-round lead with Blumenherst, shot 75 and was tied for 25th, nine shots behind Webb.
