JEJU ISLAND, South Korea (AP) -- Justin Thomas shot a 9-under 63 Friday to take a two-stroke lead at THE CJ CUP @ NINE BRIDGES, putting himself in position to win his second PGA TOUR event in South Korea in three years.
Thomas, who won the inaugural CJ CUP in 2017, had a two-round total of 13-under 131.
South Korean-born New Zealander Danny Lee (66) was in a tie for second place with first-round leader Byeong Hun An, who shot 69 in front of his home fans.

Jordan Spieth (65) and Emiliano Grillo (66) were tied for fourth, four strokes behind.
Thomas birdied his first four holes and was 6-under after 10 holes.
"Overall one of the better rounds in a while," Thomas said. "It came pretty easy, for the most part. I never had to worry much out there."
After a 66 on Thursday, Jason Day bogeyed four of his last six holes Friday for a 73 and was eight strokes behind.
Last year's runner-up Gary Woodland had a second straight 71 and was 11 behind at 2-under with Phil Mickelson, who shot 72. Defending champion Brooks Koepka had four bogeys on his first nine for a 75 and was 13 strokes behind.
Mickelson had the shot of the day, hitting a 353-yard tee shot which hit the flag on the par-4 14th, stopping 8 inches from the cup. That set up a tap-in eagle.
