The second day of the coveted 2013 PGA Players Championship is set to start Friday in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., and Roberto Castro holds the lead.

After an impressive record-tying seven birdies and an eagle on the par-5 hole during the opening round on Thursday, Castro, who shot 66 for the day, held a three-stroke lead over golf stars such as Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, the No.1 and 2 players in the world, respectively.

But with three more days of tournament action in one of golf's biggest events of the year, the lead is far from being secure. Woods, who started the year with three straight tournament wins, is looking to rebound from his disappointing finish at the Masters last month and grab the Players title, while McIlroy and golf star Phil Mickelson are looking to make a run of their own. Both Woods and McIlroy set personal bests for themselves at the end of the first day of the Players Championship.

Castro will tee off at the No.1 hole at 12:46 EST with Jimmy Walker and Jason Bohn while Woods tees off at 8:39 a.m. with Brandt Snedeker and defending Players champion Matt Kuchar. However, Castro will face a difficult challenge in keeping up his pace. Woods appeared to have some difficulties due to winds on the front nine during Day 1, but finished strong with only one bogey on the day. Can he put together a push to vault into the lead after the second day?

Meanwhile, McIlroy tees off at 1:49 p.m. in the afternoon with Adam Scott and Steve Strickler.
