LOS ANGELES - Rickie Fowler birdied his last four holes on Friday to seize a one-shot lead -- and at least temporary bragging rights -- over good friend Justin Thomas after two rounds of the US PGA Tour's Phoenix Open. His 13-under par total of 129 put him one stroke on front of Thomas, who carded a five-under 66 and at 130. It was a further stroke back to South African Branden Grace, who highlighted his 64 with a hole-in-one, and American Trey Mullinax. "I hit some really good putts to finish the day off," said Fowler. The three-time winner of the event carded a second-round 75 for a one-over total, missing the cut by two strokes.
