Peter Uihlein leads crowded Summerlin field after two rounds
Peter Uihlein followed up a solid first-round performance with another good day Friday, as he leads the Shriners Hospital for Children's Open at 13-under after two rounds.
The 2010 U.S. Amateur champion wasn't quite as good as he was Day One, but he shot a five-under 66 to take a two-shot lead into moving day.
He was especially good to begin his back nine, as he made three birdies in a row from his 12th through 14th holes.
Two shots back are Robert Streb and Whee Kim, who are both at 11-under for the tournament.
Uihlein has never won on the PGA Tour.
Bryson DeChambeau is three shots back, 10-under, in a tie with Harold Varner III and Abraham Ancer. DeChambeau made five birdies on the back nine.
Elsewhere on the course, Jordan Spieth followed a successful first day shooting three-under 68 to move into a tie for eighth with Cameron Champ and three others.
Rickie Fowler and Chris Kirk enter the weekend seven-under.
