As the second round of the Travelers Championship came to a close late Friday afternoon, an old familiar face had risen to the top of the leaderboard. Jason Day has experienced some struggles of late, missing multiple tournaments with a back injury, and not even qualifying to play in the U.S. Open. However, the former world number one player had it all working for him on Friday, shooting an 8-under 62. He gained over three strokes each ball-striking and on the greens with the putter. Thanks to some morning drizzle, the greens were much softer, and the scoring in round two was 1.1 strokes under par, more than one stroke lower than Thursday's opening round. As we head towards "Moving Day" on Saturday, 18 golfers sit within three shots of Day's lead, including Bubba Watson (8-under), Russell Henley (7-under), Scottie Scheffler (6-under) and Patrick Cantlay (6-under). With so many players sitting close to the lead it should be a very entertaining weekend on tap.
