PGA Tour - AT&T Byron Nelson R2
Australian Marc Leishman backed up his opening round of 61 (-10) with a solid 66 (-5) but saw his lead cut to just one shot as the low scoring continued at the AT&T Byron Nelson on Friday.
Brian Gay fired the round of the day with a 9 under par 62 but perhaps the most eye-catching performance came from 21 year old rookie Aaron Wise who carded an 8 under 63 to go with his opening 65 (-6) and the youngster finds himself within a shot of the lead.

Local favourite Jordan Spieth's struggles with the putter continued but he still managed a round of 66 (-5) despite missing two putts inside 3 feet. He currently sits in a tie for 20th place at -7.
The turnaround in form for Jimmy Walker also continued and he lies just 4 shots off the lead. Things also appear to be looking up for Adam Scott who sits just 5 shots behind Leishman.
Japanese golfer Hideki Matsuyama recovered from an opening round of 72 (+1) with an 8 under 63. To say his putter was hot would be an understatement - you can see highlights of his round and some of those monster putts in the video below.
Stronger winds are forecast for the weekend which should give Trinity Forest a few more teeth and provide a sterner test which has definitely been lacking so far. Looking forward to moving day!
