DeLaet, Donald share lead at RBC Heritage

Luke Donald and Graham DeLaet have a share of the two-shot lead after the second round of the US PGA Tour's RBC Heritage tournament.

Canadian Graham DeLaet eagled the par-4 ninth hole and shot a four-under 67 for a share of the second-round lead with Englishman Luke Donald at the US PGA Tour's RBC Heritage tournament.

Donald also had a 67 to match DeLaet at 10-under 132, two ahead of England's Ian Poulter and American Webb Simpson.

DeLaet had always enjoyed playing Harbour Town Golf Links, Pete Dye's sneaky little layout with its narrow fairways and smallish greens.

But DeLaet had not posted the scores to match how good he feels when he's here - until this week in going 65-67.

Donald has finished second or third in six of his past eight appearances at Hilton Head - and is position for another strong showing.

He chipped in on the 18th hole to catch DeLaet.

Poulter and Simpson each shot 68.

Marc Leishman and Cameron Smith are the best of the Australians at five under in a tie for 16th.

Leishman had a round of two under while Smith shot a one-under 70.
