Brian Harman has taken the lead heading into the weekend in the Travelers Champoionship with a 4-under 66 that took him to 10-under.

His short game was working well and it took only 26 putts to get round the course, only three more than in the first round.

``The putter has been really good so far, but I've been in position a lot,`` he said. ``I've had a lot of good looks at it. I'm just able to put a little pressure on the course right now, which is nice.``

Zach Johnson, who was tied for the lead overnight, slipped down to T2 partly because of a 10-second rule when a birdie putt hung on the lip of the cup for too long before falling in and he had to settle for a par.

``After 10 seconds, the ball was moving and at that point even if the ball is moving, it's deemed to be at rest, because it's on the lip,`` he said. ``Don't ask me why, but that's just the way it is.``

Matt Jone and Russell Henley are tied for second place with Johnson with rounds of 66 and 65.

Defending champion Jordan Spieth, who fired a first-round 63, took a triple-bogey 8 at the par-5 13th, his fourth hole of the day, and added three bogeys, an eagle and a lone birdie to stand on four-under 136.

Rory McIlroy, a back-nine starter like Spieth, began the day one off the lead and shot 69 to stand on 133.

US Open champions Patrick Reed missed the cut by a shot.
