J.B. Holmes wasn't able to match his blistering 62 from the opening round of the WGC-Cadillac Championship on Friday. The good news for the American is that he'll head into the weekend with a two-stroke lead at 9-under par.

Doral provided a more formidable test for Holmes in the second round. He could only manage a 73, including a double bogey on his final hole. Ryan Moore is his closest challenger with Adam Scott, Bubba Watson and Bubba Watson also firmly in the mix.

Backing up that type of round is always difficult. That's especially true on a tough course, which didn't allow any player to shoot better than 4-under on Friday. Aside from the finishing hole, Holmes did a nice job of playing smart golf to maintain the lead.

The tournament passed along his post-round thoughts:



He still has a couple more rounds to go if he wants to close it out. Justin Ray of Golf Channel notes it's been awhile since anybody led a PGA Tour event the entire way:



Scott, who's switched to a short putter this week, had the lowest round of the day at 4-under par. It helped him move up into third place and the Tour noted he thinks the changed has definitely helped his cause so far:
