The normal Florida wind blew in round 2 at Innisbrook near Tampa, and the Copperhead course lived up to it's tough billing as 7 of the world's top 15 found out on Friday..


For example Adam Scott missed four putts inside 5 feet and shot a +4 75 to MC ending the longest active streak on the PGA Tour, 45 straight PGA Tour events, 57 worldwide without missing a cut.


Zimbabwe's Brendon de Jonge made a couple of of long putts on his way to a -2 69 and the 36-hole lead at -6 136 but only seven shots separated de Jonge from the players who made the cut on the number at +1.


Right behind him at -5 are Jordan Spieth who made a birdie putt from the fringe on the 18th for a -4 67 and Henrik Stenson who made eagle on his first hole and wound up with a 70, along with in form Ryan Moore (68), previous winner Kevin Streelman (69) and Derek Ernst (70).


Lucas Glover 69 -4 is two shots behind, along with Sean O'Hair (72), Ricky Barnes (72) and Ian Poulter (70).


Canadians  Nick Taylor T15 70 70 -2  David Hearn T57 70 73 +1   Adam Hadwin T57 68 75 +1
