Gary Woodland shot a 2-under 69 on Friday morning to take a share of the lead alongside Matt Wallace (67) and Patrick Rodgers (68). Early gusts of wind evolved into a brutal challenge in the afternoon and they kept their one shot lead at 6-under 136.

After missing the cut at last week’s Valspar Championship, Woodland decided to return to his previous coaches, Butch Harmon and Pete Cowen.

“I’ve seen some shots this week that I just haven’t seen in a long time. The golf swing feels so much better. Confidence has gone way up, which I did not have really in the last year. It’s exciting right now.”

Phil Mickelson followed up his opening 64 with a 75 after struggling with his continuing lapses in concentration.

“I hit a lot of good shots on the front nine,” he said. “I didn’t make any putts and turned in even. Then the back nine I made – I just – I just wasn’t sharp. I think kind of an example of what I’ve been talking about is like on 17 (where he double-bogeyed the par-3) we’re standing over the ball and I’m changing my mind and I’m changing the shot, moving the clubhead a little bit and it just – instead of backing away and kind of refocusing.”

“I just kind of hit it and I’m not really kind of aware of what I’m doing.”

“It’s just little things like that that I’ve been struggling with,” he continued. “I love the golf course, I’m playing well, and if I can stay focused this weekend, I’m going to have a good weekend.”

Rory McIlroy shot a 66, including six birdies and one bogey, and made it to the weekend after missing the cut in his last three events.

“It was better. I was really happy about my iron play coming in here, felt like I really found something last week. I didn’t get a chance to show it (in the first round) because I wasn’t finding the fairway very much, but today, just having some more opportunities to hit good iron shots and give myself birdie chances, I was able to show it a bit and it was nice.”

“I feel like I’ve birdied a lot of the hard holes this week, which is nice confidence, but knowing that even if you don’t birdie a par-5 or you don’t take advantage of the easier holes, that you’re hitting it good enough that you can still make birdies on the tougher holes, I guess.”

Bryson DeChambeau found the water twice and triple bogeyed the par-5 7th leading to a 74. He was saved from an early exit by the wind picking up and driving up the scores and made the cut at 2-over 144.

Jon Rahm made back-to-back bogeys to finish his round and closed with a 70, missing his first cut in eleven months.
