DJ takes 2-shot lead into weekend at WGC-Mexico Championship

Dustin Johnson carded a 4-under 67 in Round 2 of the WGC-Mexico Championship to take a two-shot lead into the weekend.

Johnson has played bogey-free through 36 holes and leads the field in strokes gained: approach. He's looking to win his second WGC-Mexico Championship in three years.

Rory McIlroy and Matt Kuchar share second place at 9-under. McIlroy - who led after Day 1 - shot 70 while Kuchar posted 67.

A couple of 2018 Ryder Cup standouts round out the top five with Tommy Fleetwood and Sergio Garcia each at 7-under, four back of Johnson. Fleetwood's 65 was the low round of the day, which was helped by back-to-back eagles to start his afternoon.

Tiger Woods fired a 5-under 66 to climb 17 spots into a tie for eighth.
