ORLANDO, Fla. - Adam Scott keeps putting his name in the
Bay Hill record book, each round moving him closer to
another handshake with The King. One day after Scott
opened with a record-tying 62 in the Arnold Palmer
Invitational, he hit his stride around the turn Friday
with five birdies in an eight-hole stretch to leave
everyone else far behind. Even with a three-putt bogey on
his final hole, Scott still had a 4-under 68 for a seven-
shot lead. He was at 14-under 130, matching the 36-hole
record at Bay Hill first set by Tom Watson and Andy Bean
in 1981. And his seven-shot margin at the halfway point
shattered the previous record held by Tiger Woods in 2002
and Paul Azinger in 1988. Scott sounds like hes not the
least bit satisfied. "The challenge might be just to
start again and try and play a great 36 holes," he said.
"Start fresh and try to be the leader after the next 36."
That would merit a visit with Arnold Palmer, the
tournament host known simply as "The King" in golf
circles. Scott has spoken glowingly all week about his
first invitation to Bay Hill when he was 20. Walking off
the first green, Palmer was in a cart to greet him with a
handshake, and Scott was amazed that Palmer knew his
name. Now hes the Masters champion, and the 33-year-old
Australian is playing like one. J.B. Holmes (69), Chesson
Hadley (68) and Francesco Molinari of Italy (70) were
tied for second at 7-under. Keegan Bradley had the low
score of the blustery second round with a 67, putting him
in a group at 138 that included Brandt Snedeker (71) and
Jamie Donaldson of Wales (71). "I think Im 10 behind and
playing pretty well for two rounds," said Snedeker, who
was off by two. "Hes playing pretty phenomenal. Hes going
to be a tough guy to catch. A guy that hits it as good as
he does and seems to have a complete game like he has,
and the way hes playing now, hes not going to come
backward. Seems like an awfully special week if you can
get close to him." Scott played in the afternoon, when
the course began to get firm under two days of full
sunshine, and the pace on the greens began to quicken. No
one ever got closer than his three-shot lead to start the
round, though there were two pivotal moments. He holed a
15-foot par putt on the first hole to calm his nerves,
and he hit a gorgeous shot out of the rough from 167
yards and made a 12-foot birdie on the ninth. He went to
the back nine 1-under par for his round, and he took off
from there. Scott hit a 7-iron to 4 feet on No. 11, got
up-and-down for birdie on the par-3 12th, nearly holed a
tough chip from behind the 14th green to save par, and
then made consecutive birdies with a 30-foot putt on the
15th and a 7-iron to pin-high for a two-putt birdie on
the par-5 16th. He only made it look easy. There were
three rounds in the 80s, including by U.S. Amateur
champion Matthew Fitzpatrick. U.S. Open champion Justin
Rose, playing in the same group with Scott, had a 79 and
missed the cut for the first time in a regular PGA Tour
event since The Players Championship last May. "This
course will really start to bare its teeth," Scott said.
"Ive got to take in the attitude of starting over again
and trying to play a really hard 36 holes. And hopefully,
if I can I can keep striking the ball like I am, Ill give
myself enough chances for birdie — and hopefully, more
birdies than bogeys." At one point, caddie Steve Williams
was some 275 yards down the left side of the fairway on
the par-5 16th. His boss was barely visible back on the
tee, but Williams watched his swing and instantly said,
"Perfect." And that it was, 325 yards right down the
middle. Scott missed only two fairways and has taken just
52 putts over the first 36 holes. He was in no mood to
celebrate just yet. For one thing, he is still recovering
from being sick. His energy was better Friday, though he
could barely talk above a whisper during a brief
interview with Golf Channel before his round. And the
Australian knows how a big lead can get away, even on the
final day. He had a four-shot lead with four holes
remaining in the 2012 British Open when it all went wrong
— four straight bogeys — and Ernie Els walked off with
the claret jug. Thats a distant memory for Scott, who
takes that green jacket from Augusta National with him
just about everywhere he goes. "Seven shots over two days
is not enough," Scott said. "I dont think you can ever be
enough in the lead, to be honest." DIVOTS: Ryo Ishikawa
had a 74 and was among those in the group at 5-under. The
Japanese star has been working hard on his English. He
used the words, "sucker pin," in an interview, and then
chatted comfortably with Jimmy Roberts of NBC Sports for
about five minutes. ... Southern Amateur champion Zachary
Olsen made the cut. ... Sam Saunders, the grandson of
Arnold Palmer, had a 71 and was in a tie for 16th. ...
Paul Casey made a 7-foot bogey putt on his last hole for
a 79 to make the cut on the number at 2-over 146.
