ON THE FAIRWAYS \ Friday’s other events

John Deere Classic

SILVIS, Ill. — Kenny Perry again sizzled following a sluggish start and was two strokes off the lead after the second round. Playing as well as anyone on the PGA Tour the past two months, Perry birdied six of his final 10 holes while shooting 5-under 66. That put him in a three-way tie for second place at 11-under 131 with first-round co-leader Charlie Wi (67) and Eric Axley (66). The strong finish wasn’t enough to move past Will MacKenzie (64), who jumped to the top of the leaderboard earlier in the day and is 13-under.

Scottish Open

LUSS, Scotland — Phil Mickelson had a hole-in-one to make the cut and go into the weekend five strokes behind leader Angel Cabrera. After missing a succession of makable putts, Mickelson’s 5-iron at his 14th hole, the 190-yard fifth, headed straight for the pin, landed 12 feet short, bounced once and rolled into the hole. Mickelson shot a 4-under-par 67 for the day and picked up one stroke on Cabrera, who had a 68 for a 9-under 133. Cabrera led by one over Damien McGrane of Ireland, who shot 66.

American Century Celebrity Golf Championship

STATELINE, Nev. — NHL All-Star Jeremy Roenick eagled the 18th hole to take the first-round lead. Ex-hockey greats Brett Hull and Pierre LaRouche were close behind along with former NFL quarterback Mark Rypien and ex-pitcher Rick Rhoden, who has won the tourney a record six times. Roenick had three birdies and three bogeys to go with his 3-foot eagle putt on the par-5 last hole to shoot a 2-under-par 70. That was good for 26 points in the modified Stableford scoring system. Charles Barkley’s minus-25 points was the worst score of the day.
