Toms (65) moves into tie for lead

David Toms shot a five-under-par 65 Friday to move into a tie for the second-round lead at the windy and rainy Travelers Championship in Cromwell, Conn.

Toms, who has had five top-10 finishes this year, shares the lead at eight-under 132 with journeyman Jay Williamson, who fired a 66 for the second day in a row while playing in his second PGA Tour event of the year.

Toms, who started on the back nine, went to nine under after an eagle on the par-four second hole, pitching in his approach from 84 yards. But after a 21-minute rain delay, he bogeyed the seventh hole to fall back into the tie.

Williamson closed his round by making birdie on the 17th and the 18th holes while playing into a 25-mph wind, with gusts at more than 35 mph.

Williamson, ranked seventh on the Nationwide Tour money list, would earn a PGA Tour exemption with a victory.

First-round leader Hunter Mahan followed his 62 with a one-over 71, dropping to seven under.

Mi Hyun Kim (68) had five birdies through 11 holes but lost momentum with four holes to play when she three-putted from 30 feet for her only bogey.

They are at seven-under 137, two shots ahead of Angela Stanford (69).

First-round leader Cristie Kerr picked up birdies on Nos. 2 and 3 to get to eight under, but she struggled on the back nine with two bogeys and a double bogey to finish with a 75. She is at three-under 141.
