Defending champion Max Homa carded a back-to-back 70 in the second round of the Farmers Insurance Open to aggregate at 4-under after two rounds. After 36 holes, the cutline was fixed at 2-under, and all the players except the top 65 and ties had to leave early from the event.
Homa was at 3-under for the second round after 16 holes but missed an easy par putt. At 4-under, he is eight strokes behind 36-hole leader Stephan Jaeger, who shot 64 on the second day at Torrey Pines to jump 18 spots for a single-stroke lead. He was aggregating at 10-under after 17 holes of the day but then shot an eagle on the par-5 ninth, his final hole of the round, to take the solo lead.
Nicolai Hojgaard made a seven-spot leap after shooting 6-under-66 in the second round. Two strokes back were Thomas Detry, who fired 68, and Matthieu Pavon, who carded 65.
