First-round leader Jon Rahm had a tough time matching Thursday’s sizzling pace. He was 3 over par through his first 12 holes on Friday, but rallied a bit after that, carding three birdies and a bogey on his final six holes to sign for a one-over-par 71. He now trails Fitzpatrick by two shots.
Justin Rose was steady, adding a 68 on Friday to his Thursday 67. He’s 5 under overall, and four shots back.
Brooks Kopeka is right there with him, shooting 68-67 to sit in a tie for 7th.
Rory McIlroy shot 3 under on Friday to get to 4 under par overall, and is five shots back.
Patrick Reed rallied nicely after opening with a 73 on Thursday. He shot 66 on Friday to move 23 spots up the leaderboard into T-29 at 1 under par overall.
