CROMWELL -The second round started Friday, and Tim Lammers spent the morning at the TPC River Highlands and learned more about the Travelers Championship.
As for the play, Bubba Watson shot a 3-under 67 on Friday to maintain a two-stroke lead after the second round.
After opening with a 62 on Thursday, Watson had three birdies in a bogey-free morning round to enter weekend play at 11-under par. The two-time Masters champion is trying to become the first wire-to-wire winner at TPC River Highland since Peter Jacobsen in 2003.
Watson won the 2010 tournament for his first PGA Tour title.
Brian Harman birdied two of his final three holes during an afternoon round of 65 to join Brian Stuard and Carl Pettersson at 9 under.
Stuard, who followed an opening 64 with a 67, pulled within a shot of Watson after back-to-back birdies on 15 and 16. But he bogeyed the 17th after hitting his second shot over the green and missing an 8-foot par putt.
