Cameron Champ and Lanto Griffin lead the Shriners Children's Open at 12-under 130 after the second round. The cut line was set at -3 and 67 players made the cut. Many of the favorites qualified for the weekend, but there were some upsets.

Champ carded a second round of -4 at the Shriners Children's Open, with seven bogeys and three birdies to move into first place after his first day of -8. Griffin, meanwhile, shot -5 on Friday with six birdies (four in a row) and just one bogey.

Seven of the 13 members of the FedEx Cup Top 50 made the cut at the Shriners Children's Open. Leading the way were Nick Taylor and J.T. Poston, who both tied for T4.

Defending champion Tom Kim, who is the top-ranked golfer in the field in Las Vegas, will also play over the weekend but finished his round in T26 at 6-under 136. Cam Davis (-8), Adam Hadwin (-7), Adam Svensson (-7) and Eric Cole (-5) also made the cut.

Sweden's Ludvig Aberg almost missed the cut at the Shriners Children's Open but managed to make it with almost his last shot. The Swede was under par through 14 but rallied to birdie three of his final five holes to match his opening day 2-under 69.

Lexi Thompson deserves special mention as she showed tremendous ability throughout the round, although she lacked that extra something to get close to the cut line. The American finished the second day at -2 for an even-par total at the Shriners Children's Open.

Thompson played the second round of the Shriners Children's Open with five birdies and three bogeys. Her drive averaged over 300 yards, but her putter was not with her down the stretch.

On holes 7 and 9 (16th and 18th), Thompson missed two birdie putts from less than 15 feet. The same happened on hole 8 (17th) where she missed two putts under 15 feet for birdie and par. Had she holed three of those four putts, she could have played the weekend.

Notably, these four shots, along with the 7th hole of the first round (double bogey), were the worst of Thompson's game. The rest of her performance at the Shriners Children's Open proved that is up for the challenge.
