Kenny Perry leads at the half-way stage of the Memorial tournament in Columbus, Ohio, while Adam Scott is the best of the Aussies.
Perry added a 68 to go with his first-round 65, for an 11-under 133.
"I wanted to shoot something in the 60s to get in position for the weekend and I was able to do that,? Perry told AAP.
"I'm proud of my round. Everything that can go my way is going my way."
He leads Retief Goosen and Lee Janzen by one stroke, with Vijay Singh and Spike McRoy two shots further back.
Chad Campbell is seven-under after a second-round 70, with four players, including Tiger Woods, at six-under.
Scott is one of five players at five-under, but the Aussie felt he could have done better than a second-round 72.
"I didn't play too bad but I made a few mistakes," he said.
Stuart Appleby is two-under for the tournament, along with Kiwi Craig Perks, a shot ahead of Peter O'Malley.
Peter Lonard fired his second 72 of the tournament, while Stephen Leaney also a shot 72 for a one-over total.
Craig Parry, Rod Pampling, Scott Laycock, Geoff Ogilvy, Kiwi David Smail and Stephen Allan all missed the cut, with Robert Allenby pulling out of the tournament mid-way through his round suffering from diarrhoea.
