Australian Robert Allenby is two shots off the lead after a windy second round of the US PGA Tour’s Mayakoba Golf Classic in Mexico.

Allenby cared a 67 to be one of three players tied on 136, trailing Chris Stroud (135) and leaders Greg Owen, Daniel Summerhays and Will Claxton (134).

Owen posted his second straight 67 on Friday to claim a share of the second-round lead.

The 40-year-old Englishman had five birdies and one bogey at the par-71 El Camaleon course.

Summerhays birdied his final hole in a six-under 65 and first-round leader Claxton carded a 68 to share the lead on eight-under 134.

“I played really well today,” said Owen, winner of the European Tour’s 2003 British Masters.

“Tough conditions and drove it in most of the fairways and just kept plugging away and took some chances.

“It’s been a bit of wandering around in the wilderness for a couple of years, so it’s nice to see play is back and it’s nice to see a few putts drop in.”

Allenby, Sweden’s Richard S. Johnson and Kevin Stadler were tied on 136.

Summerhays had seven birdies and a bogey.

“I drove the ball perfectly, pretty much,” Summerhays said.

“I hit it really solid into the wind. It’s a tough driving golf course.”

He sank a 35-footer for birdie on the par-four second hole. At the par-three third he hit to inches away for another birdie.

Course designer Greg Norman missed the cut with rounds of 79 and 73.
