Holmes was 11 shots worse on Friday than his record-tying 62 in the first round, but still led Ryan Moore by two at the Cadillac Championship in Doral, Florida.

McIlroy was one club lighter than the start of his round. Frustrated by hitting a ball into the water on the eighth hole, he slung the club in after it. He wound up with a 70 and was eight shots back.
