The Northern Irishman began the day four strokes behind first-round leader Keegan Bradley, who fell down the field after a one-over-par 71, on three under but opened his second round with a bogey.

He responded with a trio of birdies from the fifth as he moved into the red numbers for the round before a 37-foot birdie putt moved him to six under overall at the turn.

Furthers birdies at the 11th and 17th improved his score to eight under but a bogey at the last recorded his second blemish of his round.

American Brandt Snedeker registered a flawless 10-under-par 60, which included eight birdies and an eagle at the fourth, to surge into tied second with Canada's Nick Taylor at the Hamilton Golf and Country Club in Ontario.

FedEx Cup leader Kuchar finished his round with a hat-trick of birdies as he carded nine gains and a solitary bogey to get to 12 under par alongside Brown, who hit an eagle at the 17th before reeling off five successive birdies from the second after starting on the back nine.

Major champions Henrik Stenson and Graeme McDowell led the European charge alongside Shane Lowry at eight under, one shot clear of McIlroy in a tie for seventh.

Defending champion Dustin Johnson made the cut thanks to his second-round 65 as the world number two hit six birdies and one dropped shot to overcome his first round score of one over par.
