The Bridgestone Invitational saw a pair of Australians in the top two positions after 18 holes had been played at Firestone.

Adam Scott took the overnight lead into round two with a brilliant eight-under-par 62 performance to put him one stroke ahead of fellow countryman Jason Day.

A slip to give one back with a bogey on No. 7 would give the outright lead back to Adam Scott for the time being at nine-under par.

The young former Oklahoma State Cowboy bounced right back yet again to birdie the par-four eighth hole to regain a tie for the lead with Adam Scott at nine-under par.
