For the second straight day, Stuart Appleby plodded along the soft fairways of Waialae until he closed strong with improbable shots for eagle or a string of birdies.
That recipe could really come in handy Sunday.
Appleby, who holed out with a 5-iron for eagle on the 16th hole in the opening round, chipped in from 90 feet across the green on the par-3 seventh Saturday. That was part of a birdie-birdie-birdie finish for a 4-under 66 and a share of the lead with Shigeki Maruyama.
But the tournament is only half over.
Because of rain that washed out play Thursday, the Sony Open will try to finish Sunday with a 36-hole finale.
"A bit of a crap shoot," Appleby said. "There's a lot of guys in this tournament, absolutely. So it'll be a very interesting finish."
If the trade wind ever arrives, just about everybody is still in the hunt.
