SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Ryan Moore's 7-under-par 63 on Friday in the second round of the Fry's Electronics Open matched his career-best effort on the PGA TOUR. He previously shot a 63 at the 2005 Michelin Championship at Las Vegas.

• This marks only the second time in Moore's career that he has led or shared a lead in a PGA TOUR event. In 2006, Moore and Ben Curtis were the 36-hole co-leaders at the 84 Lumber Classic in Pennsylvania. He eventually finished tied for sixth.

• Moore has already won an event on the Grayhawk Golf Club's Raptor Course. As a junior player he won the AJGA's Thunderbird International in 2001.

• Moore's three-stroke advantage on the field is just one shy of the largest 36-hole lead on the PGA TOUR for the 2007 season. Jesper Parnevik owned a four-stroke margin at the Valero Texas Open. Five other players have also led by three strokes after 36 holes.

• Mark Hensby's comeback from a disastrous start continued on Friday. He was 5 over par after his first 10 holes on Thursday, but since that point is 13 under par, including a career-best 9-under-par 61 on Friday. The bogey-free round included nine birdies. Hensby hit just two of his first eight fairways on Thursday, but hit 18 of the next 20. He came into the tournament ranked 151st on the current money list.

• Hensby's 61 helped him make the day's biggest move, jumping from a tie for 80th at the start of the day to a tie for second.

• Mike Weir's 6-under-par 64 on Friday was his low round of the season. Weir's effort played a large role in his moving up 36 spots from a tie for 41st on Thursday to a tie for fifth heading into Saturday's third round.

• Mark Hensby, Craig Lile, and John Rollins carded bogey-free rounds on Friday.

• Among the players missing the cut were three players battling to remain in the top 125 or earn a spot inside that number -- Kevin Stadler (121st), Craig Kanada (126th) and Harrison Frazar (127th). The latter two missed the cut by one stroke. On the other hand, Bob Estes (123rd), Alex Cejka (125th), Cameron Beckman (128th) and Ted Purdy (122nd) all made the cut.

• Phil Mickelson missed the cut at 1-over-par 141, but his string of consecutive holes without a three-putt moved to 243. That is the longest current streak on the PGA TOUR. A total of 75 players made the cut at even-par 140.

• Tripp Isenhour was disqualified after his round for signing an incorrect scorecard.

• The field averaged 69.708 on Friday, a slight drop from Thursday's average of 69.870. For the second straight day, the front nine played harder than the back nine. The front nine scoring average was 34.11, while the back was 33.95.

• The most difficult hole after two rounds has been No. 7 with an average score of 4.349 (+.349), while No. 15 has been the easiest at 3.559 (-.441). There were three eagles and 128 birdies on No. 15 thru two rounds. On Friday, No. 7 yielded just six birdies.
