Ishikawa receives his third Masters invite

Ryo Ishikawa has been given a special invitation into the Masters.

This is the third time that The Bashful Prince has gained entry via special invitation (2009, 2012), but he'll be making his fifth consecutive appearance. He's cashed only once, that for a T20 in 2011. Ishikawa is a first-time member of the PGA TOUR this season, but he's not a rookie because he played at least 10 times via Special Temporary Membership last year.

Weekley leads Travelers in GIR and SG: TTG

World No. 390 Boo Weekley handed in a 2-under-par 36-32=68 after the second round of the Travelers Championship for a 36-hole total of 6-under 134, up two spots to T4, two shy of leader Jordan Spieth.

The 43-year-old conjured six (of 14) fairways but peppered 16 greens in regulation, No. 1 in the latter thru 36 holes at 86.11 percent (31/36). He squared two, 3-putt bogeys at holes 4 (from 42'1") and 13 (from 44'1"), offset by a hole-out eagle-2 at 10 from 170 yards away, and birdies at 16 and 18, from 14'6" and 25'0", respectively. The Florida native and resident gained 3.397 stokes tee-to-green, No. 1 in SGTTG with a cumulative 6.875, but lost 0.573 strokes on-the-green, needing 32 total putts. This is his 22nd start of the season and second time he's been in the top 10 after any round. Weekley's season best among just eight made cuts is T37 at the opposite-field Puerto Rico Open, where he was T12 thru 54 holes.

Jason Day among notable MCs; MDF looms

Making his third appearance, first since T18 in 2014, World No. 4 Jason Day patched together an even-par 34-36=70 in the second round of the Travelers Championship and at 2-over 72-70=142, missed the cut by two shots.

A total of 85 players from a field of 156 made the 36-hole cut of even-par 140 (17, T69 on the number), so a second cut of low 70 and ties will take place after 54 holes. Day, a pre-tourney 11/1 outright, was the highest up the bookmaker's food chain to exit early, and after a MC at last week's U.S. Open by nine (79-75), he's now missed consecutive cuts for the first time since the Memorial and THE PLAYERS in 2015, 107 and 111 weeks ago, respectively. The 29-year-old cancelled four birdies with four bogeys in R2 on 10 greens in regulation after opening with three birdies against three bogeys and double bogey-6 in R1. Other notable departures include: 141- Trey Mullinax .. 142- 2-time champ Bubba Watson; Harris English .. 143- Lucas Glover; 2013 champ Ken Duke .. 144- Zach Johnson; Jhonattan Vegas .. 145- Justin Thomas.

Reed climbs to T2 at halftime with 4-under 66

World No. 17 Patrick Reed authored a 4-under-par 32-34=66 in the second round of the Travelers Championship to post 7-under 133, up 17 spots to T2, one adrift of 36-hole leader Jordan Spieth.

The 26-year-old outpaced one bogey with five birdies on 11 (of 14) fairways and 14 greens in regulation and will play out of the final threesome in R3 with Spieth and Troy Merritt. He gained 1.489 strokes off-the-tee and 1.506 approaching-the-green, recording 1.643 putts per GIR and 1.580 SG: Putting. The Texan squared the par-3 16th (failed scramble), overshadowed by five birdies at Nos. 1, 6, 8, 13 and 18, three from between 10 and 25 feet, culminating with a walk-off 3 at 18 from 13'5". This is his sixth straight Travelers, posting two previous top 25s and a best of T11 last year (70-67-68-66). Reed was the 54-hole leader five starts ago at the Wells Fargo, settling for T12 with a 3-over 75.

Weather forecast adjusts Travelers tee times

With inclement weather expected Friday evening and Saturday morning, Round 3 tee times at the Travelers Championship will be scheduled between 11 a.m. - 1 p.m. ET with threesomes off split tees. UPDATE: Round 3 tee times are now scheduled between 10:45 a.m. - 1:05 p.m.

Friday's second round is still in progress, so it remains to be seen how many players will make the 36-hole cut. One player who secured a later tee time and a start off No. 1 tee on Saturday is World No. 66 Anirban Lahiri, who fired a career-low bogey-free 7-under-par 33-30=63 in R2, good for the low round in the clubhouse and matching the low round of the week with 18-hole leader Jordan Spieth. He hit eight (of 14) fairways and 12 greens in regulation, circling five birdies and eagle-3 at 13 (from 32'3"), posting a stellar 1.500 putts per GIR and 5.270 SG: Putting. The 29-year-old opened his tourney debut in 3-over 73 (three birdies, two bogeys and two double bogey-5s), and currently sits T17 on the leaderboard, up 108 places on the day. His previous best on TOUR (167 rounds) was 64 two times, most recently at the 2017 CareerBuilder/R3.

OQer Chase Seiffert currently T4; 66 in R2

Making his tournament debut, open-qualifier and World No. 1947 Chase Seiffert fashioned a 4-under-par 32-34=66 in the second round of the Travelers Championship to reach 6-under 134, currently T4 and two shy of 36-hole clubhouse leader Jordan Spieth.

This is the Florida State alum's third career TOUR start, second this season and second as an open-qualifier. He cashed his first check with T74/MDF at The RSM Classic back in mid-November (71-65-74) and prior to that, missed the cut in his pro debut at the 2013 FedEx St. Jude Classic on a sponsor exemption. In the unlikely event the 25-year-old wins this week, he would be the third straight former Seminole to win on TOUR, joining Daniel Berger (FESJC) and Brooks Koepka (U.S. Open). He opened with a five-birdie three-bogey 68 and hit nine (of 14) fairways and 11 greens in regulation in Round 2, cancelling three birdies with three bogeys. However, the Florida native carded two eagles, the first a hole-out 2 at the third from 138 yards away, adding eagle-3 at 13 from six inches after nearly holing his second to the par 5 from 250 yards away. He posted 4.248 SG: Tee-to-Green, including 3.208 approaching-the-green, though just 0.313 SG: Putting.

Overnight leader Spieth 69/R2; leads by one

First-round leader and World No. 6 Jordan Spieth tacked on a 1-under-par 34-35=69 in the second round of the Travelers Championship to post 8-under 132, good for the early 36-hole clubhouse lead by one over Troy Merritt. UPDATE: Spieth is the 36-hole leader by one over Merritt and Patrick Reed.

Beginning off No. 10 tee, the 23-year-old landed 10 (of 14) fairways and 12 greens in regulation, losing 0.627 strokes approaching-the-green at last glance. He circled four birdies at Nos. 12, 15, 1 and 3, three from inside of eight feet, adding a long of 35'7" at the par-4 third. The Texan took some luster off with double bogey-7 at 13 (tee shot OB), and bogey-4 at the fifth (failed sand save) that concluded his scoring. He posted a pedestrian 1.750 putts per GIR and 0.207 SG: Putting, missing one scoring try from 4'9" at 14. If the lead holds, it'll be his second 36-hole lead/co-lead this season (16 starts). Spieth was T1 thru 36 at the AT&T Pebble Beach (68-65), took the 54-hole lead with 7-under 65, and won with a closing 70.

Stalter joins Lagergren in BMW halfway lead

Joël Stalter finds himself in rarefied air after posting a superb second round of 4-under-par 35-33=68 to hit the halfway mark of the BMW International Open on 9-under 135 and holding a share of the lead with Joakim Lagergren.

The Frenchman has never held the lead (or shared it) on the European Tour, but then he has never, either, opened a Tour event with two sub-70 laps. Clearly he has taken to the challenge at Golfclub Munchen Eichenried, but he is also riding a little wave of form, having qualified for the U.S. Open and opened the Lyoness Open with a 68 for T5. He'll need to maintain the pace over the weekend, however. On Friday there were three front nine birdies at 1, 4 and 6, with dropped shots at 3 and 5. On the back nine there were three red numbers in four holes at 13, 15 and 16. He'll play Saturday with fellow non-winner Joakim Lagergren, hunted down by Henrik Stenson and Sergio Garcia, who are a shot back.

Appleby (back) WD prior to R2 at Travelers

After an opening 1-over 71, sponsor invite and World No. 511 Stuart Appleby withdrew prior to Round 2 of the Travelers Championship citing a back injury.

The 46-year-old made 23 starts last season, 20 of those on a Major Medical Extension (back) and didn't meet the terms. He wound up 143rd in the FedExCup standings so plays this season on conditional status. This was the Aussie's 11th start of the season, fifth on a sponsor exemption, and second mid-tourney WD, checking out after a first-round 76 at the Shriners, also on a sponsor invite. Overall, it's his eight career mid-tourney WD in 531 career starts. Appleby entered this week 242nd in the FedExCup standings.

DC Stenson chasing fellow Swede at BMW; T2nd

Defending champion Henrik Stenson pieced together a 3-under-par 35-34=69 in his second round at the BMW International in Germany, nudging up four spots to T2 and, at 8-under 136, just one back from fellow Swede Joakim Lagergren.

Stenson has missed five of his last eight worldwide cuts, the latest at the U.S. Open last week, but during that poor run he did post T3 in the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth. And his play so far this week suggests another title push. Although he won this event at Gut Larchenhof last year, the Open champ has also tasted victory at this week's course, Golfclub München Eichenried, back in 2006 while he was also runner-up here in 2015. Stenson has made just two bogeys through 36 holes, his sole blemish today coming at No. 13 after he'd started par-birdie-par. He got back under par for the day with a birdie at 18 and found further circles at 1 and 8 to put himself in great position for a weekend title defense.

Lagergren jumps into lead at BMW with R2 66

Joakim Lagergren landed eight birdies in a second-round 6-under-par 32-34=66 at the BMW International in Germany, vaulting 26 spots up the live leaderboard to first place with the morning wave virtually complete.

At 9-under 135, the Swede is a shot in front of compatriot Henrik Stenson and England's Richard Bland. Lagergren started his big move at Golfclub München Eichenried with a first birdie of the day at 11 and added another at 13 before giving it back with a bogey-5 at 14. However, he would finish his opening nine by connecting red circles on Nos. 16-18 to turn in 32. Coming home, he traded a birdie with a bogey at 4 and 5 but then assumed top spot on the leaderboard with gains at 7 and 9. Today's score matches the 66 he posted in round one here in 2013 before slipping all the way back to 74th. He'd arrived in Germany having gone into a slump (four missed cuts and no top 40 from seven starts) since finishing runner-up in the Qatar Masters followed by T23 in February's Dubai Desert Classic.

Connecticut native Stegmaier opens with 64

Beginning off No. 10 tee, World No. 424 Brett Stegmaier circled seven birdies in a nine-hole span en route to a 6-under-par 34-30=64 on Day 1 of the Travelers Championship in Cromwell, Connecticut, to sit T2, one back of leader Jordan Spieth.

This is the Connecticut native's fourth appearance and he's yet to play more than 36 holes, missing cuts in 2016 (by 10) after rounds of 72-77, as well as 2010 and 2006, the latter his professional debut. It's his 21st start of the season, posting one top 25 among just seven made cuts (T21, RSM Classic). The University of Florida product was also T2 after 18 holes at the Genesis back in February, eventually finishing T39 (66-75-68-72). He found nine (of 14) fairways and 14 greens in regulation, posting 2.659 SG: Tee-to-Green. Stegmaier offset a walk-off bogey-5 at nine with seven birdies, including four straight at holes 13-16, 18, 1 and 3, four from between 10 and 16 feet, recording 1.500 putts per GIR and 3.371 SG: Putting.
