The 37-year-old American carded a second successive 70 to stand two under, although he could have been much better after reaching four under halfway through his round.

The 2003 US Open champion said: "You pick and choose your spots when to be aggressive and when to be defensive, considering pin placements and where you put your drives,"

Furyk was satisfied with his performance on the second day, admitting it was now a case of waiting and watching the weather.

He added: "You have to assess each situation. You want to play aggressively but you want to play intelligently, and sometimes the intelligent play is to be a little more conservative.

"But there are other times when you have good opportunities and you have to take advantage of them.

"From what I'm hearing tomorrow (Saturday) is supposed to be an awful day for weather, and in that case there is no 66 out here.

"I think if you shoot under par on this golf course you have played a good round. Even par is solid."
