Friday’s pro golf results

HONDA CLASSIC

PALM BEACH GARDENS, FLA.

Rickie Fowler isn’t setting any course records at the Honda Classic. He’ll gladly settle for more great golf, and the 36-hole lead. Fowler got back to work last week in Florida after his big disappointment in the Phoenix Open and shot the course record at The Medalist (66). The next day, he went an hour north to The Floridian and shot 60 to break the course record held by Justin Thomas. He set a more obscure record Friday with his 4-under 66 to build a one-shot lead over Jimmy Walker. Fowler became the first player to go bogey-free over the opening 36 holes in the Honda Classic since it moved to PGA National in 2007. PGA Tour officials say Jason Bohn suffered a mild attack after the second round Friday at the Honda Classic. The tour says Bohn complained of chest pains after his round and went to see a medical staff at PGA National. He was taken by ambulance to Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center, where tests revealed a mild heart attack. Bohn, 42, was staying in the hospital overnight until more tests Saturday. He was in stable condition. His wife was home in Atlanta, though her parents were with Bohn at the hospital.

PERTH INTERNATIONAL

PERTH, AUSTRALIA

Overnight leader Peter Uihlein of the United States shot a 4-under 68 and was tied for the second-round lead with Brett Rumford at the Perth International, with former British Open champion Louis Oosthuizen a stroke behind on Friday. Uihlein, who birdied his final two holes after starting on the back nine, and Rumford, who carded 65, had 36-hole totals of 11-under 133 at Lake Karrinyup Country Club. Oosthuizen, the 2010 British Open champion playing for the first time in Australia, had a 64 for the low round of the day after an opening 70.

AUSTRALIAN LADIES

GOLD COAST, AUSTRALIA

Nicole Broch Larsen of Denmark and Sweden’s Camilla Lennarth took a two-stroke, second-round lead Friday at the Australian Ladies Masters. Lennarth shot her second consecutive 5-under 68 while Broch Larsen, thanks to a chip-in eagle on the final hole, carded a 69 for two-round totals of 10-under 136 at Royal Pines. Lennarth, starting on the 10th hole, had four birdies on her final nine, including the eighth and ninth.
