The biggest problems came after balls had been hit.
"There's a ton of water on some holes," said Jason Dufner, who was at 137 after a 68. "You know you just catch a gust, and it's almost like you feel helpless sometimes."
Bob Estes, who won here in 2001, had a 65 that was the day's best round and finished in a three-way tie for 11th at 139. He started in the morning but said the wind was really howling.
"It was hard to even step up to the shot and hit it, it was blowing so hard," Estes said. "I'm thinking in particular about the second shot at No. 5. We're playing dead into the south wind and just ripped a 4-iron. I was trying to carry the ball maybe 185 yards. I normally hit a 4-iron 205."
Divots:@ David Toms, a two-time champ here, extended his streak of cuts at this event to 13 straight. ... John Daly, who started the day 2 over, broke his putter and wound up using a wedge for a bit before getting a replacement as he made the turn. It didn't help as he finished with an 81 and missed the cut at 13 over. ... Carlos Franco and Brent Geiberger each withdrew before the second round. Franco was sick, while Geiberger was injured. Both had opened with 77s Thursday. ... Lucas Wald was disqualified after carding an 85 Friday.
