World number five Hovland who won last week's BMW Championship, and two-time major winner Morikawa each fired a six-under par 64 to stand on 16-under after 36 holes at East Lake in Atlanta.
ATLANTA -- Norway's Viktor Hovland birdied five of the last seven holes to share the lead with American Collin Morikawa after Friday's second round of the US PGA Tour's season-ending Tour Championship.
"I felt like I had control," Morikawa said."Maybe I wasn't hitting my number on the dot but we were within two or three yards. I'm not going to complain." "Hit a couple of squirrelly ones. Got away with them," Morikawa said."Made a couple of birdies out of them. I missed a few, they went where I wanted. That's all you can really ask for.
"It has been pretty incredible," he said."Before it was when I was standing over every shot it was like, 'Don't duff it. Don't leave it in the bunker.' After getting up and down from a bunker to avoid bogey at the par-3 ninth, Morikawa sank a six-foot birdie putt at the 12th to stay on top.
