Donald leads after two rounds

Englishman Luke Donald carded a 66 to open up a one-shot lead at the halfway stage of the EDS Byron Nelson Championship.

Brett Wetterich, a surprise winner of last year's event, shot 68 to join first-round leader Sean O'Hair (69) and Swede Fredrik Jacobson (67) in a tie for second at six under.

"I've always been very consistent around here," said Donald. "I've driven it well this week, kept it in play and not made many mistakes. I'm hitting a decent amount of greens and when I'm missing greens, I'm (chipping) it close."

Only eight strokes separated the 73 players who made the cut. Among those within striking distance was Phil Mickelson, who is six adrift.
