Anirban Lahiri turned in a second successive two-under 70 and jumped into the top-10 at tied ninth at the midway stage of the $9.5 million WGC Cadillac Golf Championships.
Lahiri, who had three birdies — two in the last three holes and one bogey — is still six shots behind leader Adam Scott, who is looking to make it two wins in two weeks.
Lahiri hit solidly and putted well but was unable to hole them as he burnt the edges and stopped inches short at times.
“I played solid today after a poor start,” said Lahiri. But he added, “I putted well, but found a lot of edges and didn’t really hole a lot of putts (for birdies).”
Overall, he was happy with his game. “I found 15 greens today and that was great. It was nice to finish strongly (two birdies in last three holes) and it is important to take that momentum into the weekend.”
Scott, second at the Northern Trust Open two weeks ago and winner at the Honda Classic last week, is back in the saddle midway. Scott’s six-under 66 got him to 10 under for the tournament and two clear of Rory McIlroy (65) and defending champion Dustin Johnson (64).
Jordan Spieth shot even par 72, leaving him seven shots off the lead in tied 12th place.
