Love logged a four-under 66 as he continues his search for his first tour win in almost four years. Love also added six more birdies and is now tied for the tournament lead in birdies with 12.
As for Furyk, the 42-year-old veteran managed to avoid any bogeys Friday while chipping in five birdies. Furyk now only has one bogey through his first two rounds of the tournament.
Thursday’s co-leader Bud Cauley dropped three spots, with a round of one bogey and one birdie, but still remains in the thick of things. Overall, there are 11 players that are only three strokes or less behind Atwal for the tournament lead.
