Kohler (United States) (AFP) - Australian Matt Jones parlayed a hot start into a share of the lead alongside American Dustin Johnson midway through the second round of the PGA Championship on Friday.

Under a threat of afternoon thunderstorms, Jones birdied three of his first four holes, then added another birdie at Whistling Straits' tough par-four 18th to make the turn at eight-under par.
