Harris English surged to the top of the leaderboard heading into the weekend at the Farmers Insurance Open, thanks to a six-under round of 66 on Torrey Pines' north course. He faces plenty of competition, however, as 14 players are within four strokes of his 10-under lead.

Nick Watney also moved himself into prime position with a seven-under effort on Friday. Like English, he was able to navigate the north course without dropping a single shot in the second round. He knocked in four birdies on the back half, including one on the 18th to finish on a high note.

Jhonattan Vegas and Martin Laird both join Watney at eight-under par, two strokes off the pace.

Nicholas Thompson checks in one shot behind that trio followed by a massive group at six-under, which includes Jason Day, Ian Poulter and Jimmy Walker.

Day was actually one stroke over par after a rough go on the south course in the first round. The north course treated him far better as he poured in eight birdies. PGA of Australia pointed out it allowed him to jump nearly 90 spots:
