Haskins, a longtime Nationwide Tour player, finished two trips around the TPC Scottsdale at 11-under 131, giving him a two-shot lead over five players as the tournament reached its halfway mark.

First round co-leader Curt Byrum, a former PGA Tour winner, trailed by only a shot when he reached the 18th hole, but a closing bogey left him two back after a 68.

Byrum was joined atop the leaderboard on the Champions Course at TPC Scottsdale by John Ross, Terry Burke and Lu Chien Soon.
