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.
