Overton joins leaders as McIlroy well positioned

Four birdies in the first 10 holes of his second round helped Jeff Overton into a share of the lead at the Honda Classic today with Rory McIlroy handily poised heading into the weekend.

American Overton, without a PGA Tour win in 85 events, had started the day at the PGA National in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, a shot behind four-under-par overnight leader Robert Allenby of Australia.
