WASHINGTON - Chris Kirk, seeking his first US PGA Tour title since 2015, and recent winner Webb Simpson shared the lead on Friday after the second round of the Rocket Mortgage Classic in Detroit, Michigan.

He had opened his round with three straight birdies and was 13 under for the tournament before a bogey at No. 18 capped his seven-under 65 for a 12-under total of 132. World No. 10 Bryson DeChambeau headlined a group of six players sharing third on 133 who also included Ireland's Seamus Power and Americans Matthew Wolff, Mark Hubbard, Ryan Armour and Richy Werenski.

"I'm very thankful to be out here playing again and I'm really enjoying competing," he said."But at the same time I realise there are things that are a lot bigger than this... I'm just happy to be in a really good place." "I was trying to stay aggressive and trying to just keep making birdies. It didn't quite work out, but I'm proud of the way I played."
