At the halfway mark, Kevin Chappell owns a one-shot lead at the 2016 Deutsche Bank Championship at TPC Boston in Norton, Massachusetts.

Chappell is 11 under par through the first two rounds, while Paul Casey and Jimmy Walker are tied for second at 10 under.

Walker, on the other hand, closed excellently to move into second place. He picked up four shots over his final four holes to move to 10 under. The 37-year-old might have been tied with Chappell were it not for a bad bounce against the flagstick, as the PGA Tour showed:
