Golfer Brian Davis and his family continued their long-standing support of Arnold Palmer Medical Center today, donating $52,393 - one-quarter of his winnings from the 2012 Arnold Palmer Invitational Presented by MasterCard - to Arnold Palmer Medical Center in Orlando.

With a bogey-free 7-under-par 65 Friday on the Championship Course, Woods claimed a share of the 36-hole lead at Bay Hill Club & Lodge. It's a familiar position for the 14- time major champion, who is seeking his first PGA TOUR title since the 2009 BMW Championship.

With a 10-under 134 aggregate score, Woods stands atop a post-round leaderboard for the 18th time over the 60 competitive rounds he has played here. Overall, Woods has won seven times at Bay Hill, six coming in this tournament. His other victory here was in the 1991 USGA Junior Amateur.

"My finish here in 2005 really kind of kick-started my PGA TOUR career," McDowell said Friday after his 9-under- par 63 launched him to the top of the leaderboard heading into the weekend of the 34th edition of Palmer's tournament. "I haven't always played well here since, but it gave me confidence that I could handle just about anything. And I've always felt like I could get it around out here."

McDowell had missed the cut in his last two appearances at Bay Hill, but later in 2010 he moved into another category of player when he captured the U.S. Open at the Pebble Beach Golf Links – which, by the way, is owned by a partnership that includes Palmer.

McDowell, 33, had seven birdies and an eagle in his run up the board Friday. His eagle came at 16, where he sank a 7-foot putt.

Dufner's 3-under-par 69 Friday at Bay Hill gave him a share of the clubhouse lead with McDowell at 9-under 135 for much of the day until Woods came in with a 7-under 65 and seized the 36-hole lead at 134. Charlie Wi later matched Woods at 10 under par with his 68.

"I just lost my mind for a minute, which was a shame because even though I didn’t play well, I was still looking forward to playing again tomorrow. I enjoy Bay Hill," said Clark, 36, who has been battling an elbow injury that has limited him to five rounds this year.

Anthony Kim, a former U.S. Ryder Cup player, is in the midst of reviving his golf game, and he took a strong step forward Thursday at the Bay Hill Club & Lodge with an opening 3-under-par 69 that included his first career hole-in-one on the PGA TOUR.

"I've been working really hard and actually just keeping out of my own way, and even though that should be the easiest thing for a professional golfer, it's the hardest," said Kim, who has made only one cut in his first six starts this year. "I've been running my head into a brick wall. So I moved away from the brick wall and now I can swing and make some birdies out there."

And eagles, too.

He converted a pair of 14-foot putts after a 6-iron into 17 and an 8-iron into the signature 18th hole. "One of the things I've been trying to improve is my mental approach," the veteran Texan, 33, said. "I didn't have a lot going on, bogeyed a few holes I shouldn't have, but I stayed patient on a tough layout and got rewarded at the end. It certainly will make lunch taste better."

Walker's round also included a chip-in birdie from 40 feet at the par-3 second hole.

He's not intimidated anymore. The 40-year-old Californian opened with a 6-under-par 66 Thursday and grabbed a share of the first-round lead with Jason Dufner here at the Bay Hill Club & Lodge in the 34th edition of Palmer's prestigious tournament.

"Throughout the first nine years of our partnership, MasterCard has helped raise more than $1.8 million that have directly impacted Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children," said Palmer, who began this event at the Bay Hill Club & Lodge in 1979 and nurtured it into a top-shelf golf tournament. "I am looking forward to continuing our partnership over the next four years to deliver a world-class event for our players and fans while continuing to support the hospitals."

The 34th annual tournament at the Bay Hill Club & Lodge will also feature 34 of the top 50 players on the final 2011 PGA TOUR money list, including three of the top four - Webb Simpson, Nick Watney and K.J. Choi - and the 2011FedExCup champion, Bill Haas, who also won the Northern Trust Open earlier this year.

Having won seven major championships and competed in more than 150 in his illustrious career, Arnold Palmer certainly knows enough about what goes into making a golf tournament special.

In recognition of the Arnold Palmer Invitational, Thomas Hauser’s book “Arnold Palmer: A Personal Journey” is being re-released.

The 34th edition of the Arnold Palmer Invitational Presented by MasterCard March 19-25 is shaping up to spotlight another strong field featuring international stars and top homegrown U.S. talent, including several players with special ties to the legendary host, Arnold Palmer.

Eighteen players have been awarded sponsor invitations to the 2012 Arnold Palmer Invitational Presented by MasterCard including 2006 champion Rod Pampling, three past major championship winners and the grandson of the tournament host.

The 34th annual PGA TOUR event at the Bay Hill Club & Lodge will be played March 19-25 in Orlando, Florida.
