Austin Smotherman finds himself leading the Cognizant Classic at the halfway stage, with the Korn Ferry Tour graduate three shots clear through 36 holes.
Sitting 11-under, the American leads Taylor Moore at eight-under, while a congested leaderboard proceeds the duo at PGA National.

A three-time winner on the Korn Ferry Tour, Smotherman is yet to break out on the PGA Tour circuit, but has a great chance to win going into the weekend in Florida.
In pursuit of the 31-year-old are the likes of Major winner, Shane Lowry, who is five-under. Aaron Rai is also on that number, while former Ryder Cupper, Daniel Berger, is four-under.
