FORT WORTH, Texas — Bryce Molder shot a career-best 8-under-par 62 to take the lead after two rounds at the Colonial.
Molder’s round Friday got him to 13-under. That’s good for a one-stroke lead over first-round co-leader Jason Bohn and two strokes better than Kris Blanks and Brian Davis.
Molder had a chance to match the course record of 61 but missed an 8-foot birdie putt at the 18th hole. The 31-year-old Molder, a four-time All-American at Georgia Tech, has split time between the PGA and Nationwide tours since his professional debut in 2002.
Phil Mickelson would have overtaken Tiger Woods for the No. 1 spot in the world ranking with a win at Colonial. Lefty instead missed the cut at 4-over despite two days of ideal scoring conditions at Hogan’s Alley.
“I played terrible. I don’t know what to say,” Mickelson said. “The course was in great shape, there was no wind and there were a lot of birdies out there, and I just played terrible.”
European: Donald leads by one.
Luke Donald shot a 5-under 67 to take a one-shot lead over Rhys Davies after the second round of the Madrid Masters.
