Mickelson jumped to the top of the leaderboard at the second major of the men’s golf season with a 3-under 69.

Conners started the day with five bogeys and two birdies before playing even-par the rest of the way.

The 29-year-old Conners finished his round with a 16-foot birdie putt on No. 9. He played the back nine first.

Adam Hadwin of Abbotsford, B.C., ended Friday in 51st spot after posting a 1-under 71 with an eagle on the seventh hole.

Mackenzie Hughes of Dundas, Ont., did not make the cut.

Conners has four top-10 finishes in his past eight PGA Tour events.
