CROMWELL, Conn. - David Toms shot a 5-under-par 65 Friday to move into a tie for the second-round lead at the blustery, rainy Travelers Championship.

Toms, who has had five top-10 finishes this year, shares the lead at 8 under with journeyman Jay Williamson, who had a 66 for the second straight day in just his second PGA Tour event of the year.

First-round leader Hunter Mahan followed up his 62 with a 1-over 71, dropping to 7 under. Former U.S. Open champ Corey Pavin also shot a 66, despite three-putting the 18th, to move into contention at 4-under par. Defending champion J.J. Henry is also one of the 79 players to make it to the weekend, slipping in at the cut line of 1 over.

PITTSFORD, N.Y. - Rookie In-Kyung Kim shot a 5-under 67 to join South Korean compatriot Mi Hyun Kim atop the leaderboard after two rounds.

In-Kyung Kim, the 19-year-old native of Seoul, whose best finish was a tie for fourth at last month's LPGA Corning Classic, had six birdies at the tree-lined Locust Hill course but gave up the outright lead with a three-putt bogey on the last hole.

Eight-time tour winner Mi Hyun Kim (68) had five birdies through 11 holes but lost momentum with four holes to play when she three-putted from 30 feet for her only bogey. Both moved to 7-under 137, two ahead of Angela Stanford. Lorena Ochoa of Mexico, who tops the money list with $1.25 million shot a 71 to move to 4 under.

First-round leader Cristie Kerr picked up birdies on Nos. 2 and 3 to get to 8 under but struggled on the back nine with two bogeys and a double bogey to finish with a 75 for a total of 3 under.

Norway's Suzann Pettersen (75), who captured her first major title at the LPGA Championship two weeks ago, also lost ground with a double bogey on No. 12 and a two-shot penalty for slow play on No. 14 to drop to 1 under. Defending champion Jeong Jang (73) was at even par.
