Rory Sabbatini and John Mallinger share a one-shot lead at halfway mark of the Byron Nelson Championship.

Rory Sabbatini shot a season-low round of six-under-par 64 to claim a share of the halfway lead alongside John Mallinger at the Byron Nelson Championship at TPC Four Seasons.
Sabbatini signed for seven birdies, including four in a row on the front nine, against just one bogey to move onto eight-under-par overall and a shot clear of a group of five a shot adrift alongside Mallinger who carded a second round five under 65.
Mallinger eagled both par fives and picked up four birdies, including a 15 foot putt at the 18th to earn a share of the lead, but his card also included three bogeys.
First round co-leader and PGA Tour rookie James Nitties (68), Brian Davis (65) with his sixth consecutive round in the 60s, Briny Baird (64), James Driscoll (66), who finished with back-to-back bogeys, and Dustin Johnson (65) sit in the group at seven under and tied for third.
Ken Duke, who shared the first round lead, shot a 69 and sits two back alongside Robert Allenby (67) and DA Points (66).
Defending champion Adam Scott, though, missed the cut by three strokes after a second consecutive 71.
