Storm entered Friday's second round of the USPGA Championship with a two-shot lead, but a six-over-par 76 has him at one over 141 through 36 holes and four shots off the lead.

Canadian Stephen Ames held the lead at four under after birdies at the 13th and 14th, while Scott Verplank moved to three under and a share of second with Daly after playing his first 15 holes in three under.

After playing in one of the final groups on Thursday, Storm was in the first group off the first tee on Friday.

He spent much of the time in between worried about missing his tee time, but he should have been more concerned with how he would play.

"I didn't get much sleep," Storm admitted. "I went to sleep at 10pm and woke up about 2am and was on and off after that.

"I was worried about missing my alarm call, which I normally don't think about. But, when you're leading a major, it's slightly different."

Playing in his first USPGA, Storm fired a bogey-free 65 on Thursday but things were certainly different on Friday.

"I didn't get the run of the ball that I did on Thursday," he said. "I am still in contention but disappointed.

"I didn't play that badly but I was punished when I made a mistake."
