TOUR CHAMPIONSHIP

ATLANTA

Billy Horschel had another 4-under 66 to build a two-shot lead at the Tour Championship, putting him halfway home to a $10 million bonus. Horschel might be the hottest player in golf. His next battle is with the best player in golf — Rory McIlroy. McIlroy finished with three big putts for a 65. He was two shots out of the lead and will play with Horschel in the final group on Saturday. Chris Kirk, the No. 1 seed in the FedEx Cup finale, had four bogeys in his round of 68. He also was two shots behind, along with Jason Day (67). Horschel, Kirk and McIlroy only have to win the Tour Championship to capture the FedEx Cup and its $10 million bonus.

WEB.COM TOUR FINALS

COLUMBUS

Derek Fathauer shot a 2-under 69 on Friday to take a three-stroke lead in the Nationwide Children’s Hospital Championship, the third of four events in the Web.com Tour Finals. Fathauer, 13th on the Web.com Tour’s regular-season money list to secure a 2014-15 PGA Tour card, had a 10-under 132 total on Ohio State’s Scarlet Course. The top 25 players on the Web.com money list are competing against each other for PGA Tour priority, with regular-season earnings counting in their totals and the final leader getting a spot in The Players Championship. The other players — Nos. 26-75 from the Web.com Tour money list and Nos. 126-200 in the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup standings — are fighting for another 25 cards based on their earnings in the four tournaments. Vaughn Taylor was second after a 69. Justin Thomas was 6 under after a 69. Kyle Stanley and Sean O’Hair were 5 under. They also shot 69.

KLM OPEN

ZANDVOORT, NETHERLANDS

Pablo Larrazabal broke the course record at Kennemer Golf & Country Club on Friday, shooting an eight under 62 to take the lead at the halfway stage of the KLM Open at 10 under. The Spaniard got off to a blistering start, birdying his first six holes, and did not drop a shot until a bogey on his 17th hole of the day, the par three eighth. He followed that with another birdie to break the Kennemer Golf & Country Club course record by a shot and go to 10 under after two rounds. The red-hot opening had Larrazabal thinking about shooting a 59.

EVIAN CHAMPIONSHIP

EVIAN-LES-BAINS, FRANCE

Brittany Lincicome had six birdies in a 6-under 65 to take a one-shot lead from Hyo-Joo Kim of South Korea at the halfway stage of the Evian Championship on Friday. The 28-year-old American has won a major before, the Kraft Nabisco in 2009, but clinched the last of her five LPGA titles in 2011 at the Canadian Women’s Open.
