Max Homa shot a three under 68 at the Genesis Invitational on Friday to take the lead headed into the weekend.

After sharing the lead with Keith Mitchell at the close of the opening round, Homa relied on a flurry of birdies at the turn in his second trip around The Riviera Country Club to claim a solo one-stroke advantage.
