Ian Poulter dresses to impress as always, but his golf is not living up to his trousers as he slides down the leaderboard Playing partners Luke Donald and Paul Casey see the funny side of something but Poulter withdraws with a wrist injury after 15 holes It's a bad start for overnight co-leader Kevin Streelman as he drops five shots after just six holes and ends three over after a 77 BBC Radio 5 Live man Andrew Cotter's (right) skills as a caddie do little to help as amateur Gary Wolstenholme ends 23 over Masters champion Trevor Immelman has a mixed day and finishes with a 73 for six over Justin Rose plays steadily and cards a one-over 72 but his first-round 79 scuppers his chances and he misses the cut at seven over Casey fights back well with a one-under 70 but still ends seven over, while Donald adds a second 71 for a well-placed level par Two-time champion Ernie Els maintains his charge with a 72 to reach halfway in level par and stay firmly in contention Another player making progress is Open champion Padraig Harrington, who adds a 67 to his opening 78 to climb to three over American Rocco Mediate makes his presence felt and at one point leads by three but eventually ends up one shot off the lead Tiger Woods begins his second round with two early bogeys but an eagle at the 13th, his fourth, gets him back on track at one over Woods's playing partner Mickelson is also grinding in front of his home crowd and six bogeys puts him on four over England's Lee Westwood makes his move and edges to one under, two shots off the lead at the end of the day His countryman Oliver Wilson goes one better and shares the lead at two under with Mediate before slipping back to one over But as the lead is shuffled, a certain Tiger Woods is on the march behind with five birdies on his way home to climb to within one shot But Stuart Appleby takes the outright lead on three under after a lengthy birdie putt at the 18th gives him a second-round 70 PGA Championship winner Miguel Jimenez fires the round of the day, a 66, to end up just two strokes behind Appleby
