At the halfway stage of the Arnold Palmer Invitational, it's Daniel Berger who has excelled at Bay Hill, producing a 63 and 68 to sit 13-under, five clear of Akshay Bhatia.

Producing the nine-under 63 on Thursday to lead by three, Berger extended his advantage to five on Friday, as the American searches for a first victory since the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in 2021.

Among the chasing pack are Major winners Collin Morikawa, who is seven-under, and Xander Schauffele, who is five-under.

In terms of tee times, the pair of Berger and Bhatia head out at 1.50pm (ET), with an exciting Moving Day in-store around the tough layout of Bay Hill.
