MARTIN LAIRD MAKES PHOENIX OPEN CUT WITH NOTHING TO SPARE

Martin Laird qualified for the last two rounds of the Phoenix Open right on the limit mark of level par 142 (2x71).
Three birdies had the Scot well in the "comfort zone" but then he stumbled to two late bogeys and, with one hole to play in his second round, he has one under par overall. A bogey at the last for a 70, two shots better than his opening round, got him through with nothing to spare.
Thirty-odd players had to go out at 7.30am local Scottsdale, Arizona time to complete their second rounds after frost delayed the start of play on Friday for the second day in a row and the players at the end of the field ran out of daylight to finish their rounds.
American Scott Levin looks to have a stranglehold on the tournament with a five-shot lead on 14-under-par 128 (65-63) at the top of the scoreboard. But after clear leader Kyle Stanley's last hole triple bogey demise and subsequent defeat in a play-off, no one is taking anything for granted.
