Overview
- Lucas Glover reached 14-under and a two-shot lead Friday and has not made a bogey through 36 holes, pairing an 8-under 63 with a 6-under 65 to head into the weekend.
- Warm weather, firm fairways and receptive greens at TPC Deere Run have pushed scores low and helped golfers compile the birdies that define the leaderboard this week.
- Zach Johnson skipped the U.S. Senior Open and the Open Championship to play his hometown event and opened with a 7-under 64, but he cooled to a mid‑leaderboard position after a second-round 70.
- The cut fell at 3-under 141, Jordan Spieth made the number, Eric Cole shot an 8-under 63 to reach the weekend, Davis Riley recorded a hole‑in‑one followed by an eagle and Jackson Koivun missed the cut in his pro debut.
- With many top players preparing for The Open next week, the softer field has created rare chances for veterans and rising players to earn FedExCup points and momentum on the PGA Tour.
