HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. — Jason Day is back at the top in a bid for his third PGA Tour title in a month.

Coming off a disappointing Masters, the top-ranked Day shot a 2-under 69 on Friday at the RBC Heritage to share the second-round lead with Kevin Chappell and Charley Hoffman.

Chappell and Hoffman shot 68s for the second straight day to match Day at 6-under 136.

Luke Donald, tied for the first-round lead after a 66, was a stroke back along with Russell Knox and Patton Kizzire. Donald had a 71. Knox shot a 65, the best round of the week. Kizzire had a 68.

Past tournament champion Matt Kuchar topped the group at 4 under after a 71.

Day has won two of the past three times he’s entered, starting with a one-shot victory over Chappell a month ago in the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Day followed that with a victory at the WCG-Dell Match Play and was a strong choice to slip on his first green jacket last week at Augusta National. Instead, Day tied for 10th and was never truly part of the drama in Jordan Spieth’s late collapse and Danny Willett’s triumph.

CHAMPIONS TOUR: Tom Watson was in position to make PGA Tour Champions history after shooting a 4-under 68 for a share of the first-round lead with Tom Byrum and Mark O’Meara in the Mitsubishi Electric Classic in Duluth, Georgia.

A week after making his final appearance in the Masters, the 66-year-old Watson is trying to become the oldest winner on the 50-and-over tour.

Mike Fetchick set the mark in the 1985 Hilton Head Seniors International on his 63rd birthday.

Todd Hamilton, Jesper Parnevik and Kenny Perry were a stroke back at TPC Sugarloaf.

EUROPEAN TOUR: Spain’s Pablo Larrazabal shot an even-par 71 to take a two-shot lead after the second round of the Spanish Open in windy Sotogrande, Spain.

Larrazabal had a 3-under 139 total at Valderrama. England’s Andrew Johnston was second after a 74.
