Anirban Lahiri slumped to a mid-round tumble as he missed the cut for the third time in as many starts at the Players. Simpson was on the verge of smashing the course record after reeling off six straight birdies but came to grief at the island-green par-three 17th. "You start just kind of laughing," said Simpson, whose halfway score of 15-under 129 matched the tournament record set by Jason Day two years ago. "But at the same time you're at TPC Sawgrass, so you know that trouble is everywhere, as you guys saw with me on 17." Woods said he could not quite get it together on a day when birdies were there on offer.
