South Korea's I.J. Jang made a hole-in-one en route to a 7-under 64 Friday for a share of the lead with Yuji Igarashi after the second round of the Japan Golf Tour Championship, the first major of the year.

Jang holed a 165-yard shot from the 13th tee while making six birdies and a bogey for an 8-under 134 total at Shishido Hills Country Club in Ibaraki Prefecture.

The 36-year-old has won once on the JGTO Tour — at the 2005 Mitsubishi Diamond Cup in his first full season in Japan.

Igarashi, a winless 40-year-old, posted six birdies and two bogeys in his second consecutive 67.
