Things are crowded atop the leaderboard at TPC Sawgrass.

When play concluded Friday at the Korn Ferry Challenge, five players were tied for the lead at 6 under while 10 more were just a shot back. Among the leaders were journeymen Ben Kohles and Scott Langley, as well as a trio of young talents, Kristoffer Ventura, Lee Hodges and Paul Barjon.

Kohles and Langley, who have combined for three career Korn Ferry Tour wins and six seasons on the PGA Tour, shot 66 and 68, respectively, in Round 2 on the Dye’s Valley Course. Kohles entered this week’s restart at 10^th in KFT points, having already posted two top-3s this season.

Barjon, the Mackenzie Tour Order of Merit winner last year, was 12^th points to start the week and fired 70 Friday after his opening 64 made him the first-round leader. Hodges, who won an impromptu team event last weekend at Sea Island, carded 65.

Ventura, the former Oklahoma State standout who won twice last season on the KFT to earn his PGA Tour card, didn’t get into the field at Colonial after missing seven of his past nine cuts. He shot 68 Friday.

Former recent college All-Americans Will Zalatoris, Theo Humphrey and Nick Hardy are part of the group at 5 under.
