Jason Kokrak fired a second-round 5 under 66 on Friday to take a three-shot lead after two rounds of the Miccosukee Championship.

Kokrak, a Warren JFK graduate, followed up his first-round 63 with six birdies and one bogey on the Miccosuke Golf & Country Club course.

He leads Jonas Blixt and Luke List by three strokes each in the Nationwide Tour event. First-round co-leader Daniel Chopra struggled to a 72 on Friday and is tied for 11th.

Kokrak is setting himself up nicely for a big payday, which would further cement his placement in the Nationwide money list.

Kokrak began the week in 15th place. The top 25 on the money list earn a PGA Tour card for the 2012 season.

ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga.

Webb Simpson kept his name near the top of the leaderboard at Sea Island and his eyes on a showdown with Luke Donald next week at Disney.

Simpson, in a chase to try to win the PGA Tour money title, made a pair of late birdies for a 3-under 67 at the McGladrey Classic. That left him two shots behind Billy Horschel, who picked up four shots over his last four holes on the Seaside course for a 64.
