Colin Morikawa made a run at it, but Xander Schauffele came out on top to maintain his lead Friday night at Valhalla Golf Club.
Schaffel, after matching his course record 62 on Thursday in the opening round, posted a 3-under 68 on Friday to finish at 12-under for the week. That gave him a one-shot lead over Morikawa, who went 6-under on the day and briefly held the lead in the morning wave at Louisville.
Both will go to the final group on moving day.
Scottie Scheffler managed to card a 66 on Friday morning. Scheffler will enter the weekend in a tie for fourth. He will be accompanied by Thomas Dedry and Mark Hubbard.
Tiger Woods was among those who missed the cut this weekend. He dropped to 7-over for the week after a tough outing on Friday.
