Campbell, Furyk hold lead as Wie folds at Sony Open

Chad Campbell and Jim Furyk each shot 3-under 67 on Friday and were tied for the lead at the Sony Open.

Michelle Wie, missed the cut.

Despite not having ever won a single event on the LPGA tour, let alone a major, the juvenile, for some unknown reason, insists on trying to compete on the men's tour -- each time failing miserably while at the same time taking the place of a legitimate male contender.

David Duval, who made the cut last year while dealing with injuries and the birth of his first child, coped with a back injury and birdied the last hole for a 68 to finish on the number.

"I played as well as anyone once I got through eight holes and figured out how to stand and swing," said Duval, who was 5 over through his first eight.

It still wasn't quite as good as Campbell and Furyk, who came to Waialae in a different frame of mind.

Campbell, coming off a winless year on tour, took the last two months off and showed up in Hawaii ready to go.

"I didn't do much, started practicing a little bit the last few weeks, but didn't really play that much at all," said Campbell, who joined Furyk at 6-under 134. "That made it really good to come out here and be refreshed and stay patient during my round."

David Toms had a 69 and was another shot back.

Stuart Appleby switched islands, but that didn't seem to matter. Coming off his third straight victory at Kapalua, he scrambled to a 66 and was among those at 136, giving him a good chance going into the weekend.

Appleby has won at Kapalua three straight years, although he didn't play the Sony Open last year because his wife was in Australia expecting their first child. This is a different test, and Appleby pushed his way to the top with one save after another, one of them for bogey when he hit his tee shot into the water.
