After 36 holes of the WM Phoenix Open, Japanese star Ryo Hisatsune holds a slender one-shot lead over compatriot Hideki Matsuyama.

Hisatsune carded an eight-under 63 on Friday to back up his 68 of the opening round in style. Maysuyama kept in touch with his round of 64 as he continues his bid for a third title at the TPC Scottsdale tournament.

Also on eight under is Sony Open in Hawaii champion Chris Gotterup. He'll play the third round alongside Akshay Bhatia and Si Woo Kim, who are on five under. They start at 1.24pm ET (6.24pm GMT) from the first tee.

Ahead of the tournament, there were high hopes that Scottie Scheffler would challenge for his third title at the event, but following a poor first round he has work ahead of him to force his want into contention.

He's on four under in T28 and plays alongside Ryan Fox and Zecheng Dou in the third round, with a tee time of 11.34am ET (4.34pm GMT).
