Opening round leader Justin Thomas failed to capitalise on his superb opening round 63, conspiring to card a two over 74 and fall back to a share of fourth place with Australia’s Cameron Smith.

Further down the leaderboard are Patrick Reed and Marc Leishman, who both followed of their first round 66s with even par 72s to leave them on six under going into the weekend.

Former world number one Jason day continued to struggle, posting a two over 74 and falling to T24.
