American Kenny Perry maintained his two-shot lead in Friday's weather-hit second round of the Travelers Championship in Cromwell, Connecticut despite struggling with the pace of the greens.
The PGA Tour veteran, two ahead overnight after opening with a sparkling 61, parred his last 10 holes at the TPC River Highlands to card a two-under 68. That left Perry at 11-under 129, with compatriot Ryan Moore alone in second after a six-birdie 65. Americans Colt Knost (66) and PGA Tour rookie Aaron Watkins (67) were a further stroke back at eight under while U.S. Open champion Lucas Glover was at four under after following a first-round 65 with a 71. Play was suspended at 1626 local time (2026 GMT) with thunderstorms rolling into the area and no further action was possible for the rest of the day.
Among those yet to complete the second round, U.S. Ryder Cup player Anthony Kim was at eight under with five holes remaining, level with compatriots Paul Goydos, David Toms and Spencer Levin.
Goydos and 2001 PGA Championship winner Toms also had five holes remaining while Levin had completed nine.
