Matt Kuchar holds a two-shot lead after the second round of The Barclays at Liberty National Golf Club in Jersey City. Kuchar was facing a 30-foot birdie putt at the 14th hole when play ended Friday evening. He came back Saturday morning, holed the putt, then carded two birdies and two bogeys on the final four holes to finish the second round with a 65. Kuchar, who has two wins this season on the PGA Tour, sits at 11-under after two rounds.

Kuchar is being chased by Webb Simpson and Gary Woodland, who both finished their second rounds at 9-under. Simpson fired a second-round 66, while Woodland was one shot off the day’s low round with a 64. Keegan Bradley, who was 1-over after Thursday’s round, shot 63 and sits at 7-under. He is joined by Adam Scott, Rickie Fowler and Charl Schwartzel.
Tiger Woods, Sergio Garcia, Rory McIlroy and Justin Rose highlight a group of nine players at 6-under, five shots off the lead.
The cut line fell at even par. Brandt Snedeker, Billy Horschel, Dustin Johnson and Harris English are among the players who failed to make the weekend.
Because of Friday’s delay, the golfers are playing in threesomes Saturday. Television coverage of The Barclays begins on Golf Channel at 1 p.m. ET and moves to CBS at 3 p.m.
