Ghim holed out from the fairway for eagle for the second straight day, sending him to a 3-under 68 and a one-shot lead Friday in the John Deere Classic, his first 36-hole lead in his six years.

The action at the John Deere Classic has been worth watching two rounds at TPC Deere Run, with local favorite Doug Ghim leading the charge. Ghim, a 29-year-old Illinois native, sits at 12-under after back-to-back rounds of 68.

Doug Ghim jumped on the course early Thursday, posting a 62 to take a one-shot lead after 18 holes. Max Homa and Austin Eckroat were a shot back. For Homa, his 63 is his best first-round score on the PGA Tour. Those two keep the pedal down Friday, with Ghim holding the outright lead and Homa not far behind.
