American star Bryson DeChambeau has taken the outright lead at the midpoint of LIV Golf Adelaide's second round.
Overnight co-leader DeChambeau, following his opening six-under 66, has landed an eagle and three birdies in his second round on Friday.
The drawcard leads at 10 under, one shot ahead of Kiwi Ben Campbell.
The 34-year-old from Queenstown has produced a stretch of five consecutive birdies - and six in eight holes.

Spain's former world No. 1 Jon Rahm (eight under) and defending champion Joaquin Niemann (seven under) are among the chasing pack.
Australia's Marc Leishman, who teed off as a co-leader with DeChambeau, after a blemish-free 66, faltered with two bogeys in his initial five holes but has steadied with two birdies.
Leishman is six under, while countrymen and Ripper GC teammates Cam Smith, Lucas Herbert and Elvis Smylie all made ground on Friday.
Smith, Herbert and Smylie, who won on his LIV debut last weekend in Saudi Arabia, are all three under entering their back nines.
