Cromwell, CT (Sports Network) - Defending champion Fredrik Jacobson fired a 4-
under 66 on Friday to take the lead during the suspended second round of the
Travelers Championship.
Jacobson finished 36 holes at 9-under 131 and is one stroke clear at the TPC
River Highlands.
It is a soggy TPC River Highlands where Jacobson is in front. Two weather
delays for stormy weather caused the suspension of play on Friday with half of
the field yet to finish round two.
The second half of the field will return at 7:00 a.m. (et) Saturday to finish
off the second round.
Nathan Green and Charley Hoffman are both 8-under par, but still in the middle
of their rounds. Green is 3-under at the turn, while Hoffman is 5-under
through just six holes of his second round.
Blake Adams (64), Roland Thatcher (67) and Stuart Appleby (65) are knotted in
fourth place at 7-under 133. Brian Davis (67), Marc Leishman (66) and Tommy
Gainey (68) share seventh at minus-6.
U.S. Open champion Webb Simpson, who earned that first major title on Sunday
at Olympic Club, shot a 1-under 71 on Friday and is part of a group tied for
10th at 5-under 135.
Masters winner Bubba Watson had a 1-over 71 in round two and is tied for 26th
at 3-under 137.
First-round leader David Mathis struggled to a 3-over 73 and is part of that
group with Watson.
