Marco Penge and Jacob Bridgeman lead the way at Riviera at the halfway stage, but World No.2 Rory McIlroy is hot on their heels.
Penge made a significant move with five birdies over his final seven holes and was the first to post his 12-under total.
“It’s been quite tough, to be fair, the last four weeks for me and my family,” said the 27-year-old. “She’s been in the US on her own, heavily pregnant, looking after one-and-a-half-year-old at the same time with no family or friends around.
“It’s been like a bit of a gamble of me just kind of going to compete and leaving her on her own.”
