On a day that will be best remembered for the worst single round by
Tiger Woods in his storied career, an error-riddled 82, Laird used a
series of precise approach shots to card a second straight
five-under-par 66 at TPC Scottsdale.
Playing in unusually wet conditions more reminiscent of his native Scotland than the Arizona desert, Laird reeled off four birdies in five holes from the 13th before missing a six-foot par-saving putt in semi-darkness at the last.
"The big thing was I drove it well," the three-times winner on the PGA Tour told reporters after posting a 10-under 132 halfway total.
American Daniel Berger (69) was alone in second place on eight-under, while another tour rookie Justin Thomas (68) was next on seven-under.
