Baddeley made six birdies, including one on the
18th hole, to reach 26 points in the modified Stableford scoring
event.
"That's a good day," Baddeley told reporters of his round.
"Played solid. Didn't get in any trouble. Putted nicely. Did
everything nicely."
"Definitely exciting to be in that spot. And hopefully we can
stay there the rest of the weekend."
The format awards eight points for an albatross, five for eagle,
two for birdie, zero for par, and subtracts a point for bogey
and three for double-bogey or worse.
Schniederjans, who scored during his opening round, is one point
behind at 25. His second round included a bogey and a double
bogey. Three players are tied at 23 including Andrew Putnam who
blazed his way to a field-best 17 points on Friday, making on an
eagle and six birdies.
"I've been talking with my caddie and some of my coaches and (I
have to) figure out how to play a little more aggressive,”
Putnam said. "That's the name of the game on this kind of
format. So it's good for me.”
Ireland’s Shane Lowry and Hudson Swafford are tied for sixth
with 22 points each. Derek Fathauer and Australia's Matt Jones
are tied for eighth at 20, and three more players have 19
points.
Lowry is a former winner of the World Golf
Championships-Bridgestone Invitational in Akron, Ohio, which is
running concurrently to the alternate-field event in Reno.
