HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. — A grueling Masters finally caught up to K.J. Choi on Friday at the Verizon Heritage — and Jim Furyk, Charles Howell III and Greg Owen took advantage to top the second-round leaderboard in the PGA Tour event.
Furyk (68), Howell (67) and Owen (69) were tied at 7-under-par 135, a stroke ahead of a group that included two-time Verizon champion Boo Weekley (68) and Stuart Appleby (67).
Choi, who played alongside top-ranked Tiger Woods all four rounds at Augusta National, opened with a 64 Thursday at Harbour Town Golf Links. After a second-round 74, Choi was tied for 22nd place at 138.
"Yeah, the fatigue is setting in right now," said Choi, who tied for fourth with Woods on Sunday at the Masters. "But no excuses today. I had a tough time reading the greens."
Furyk didn't have Choi's problem entering this tournament. "I didn't play enough to get tired," he said of the Masters.
The world's sixth-ranked player missed the Masters' cut for the second time in 14 appearances. Furyk wasn't happy with the early exit. But instead of dwelling on it, he enjoyed what was left of Masters festivities.
He stayed late at a Friday-night party with friends and sponsors. He drove to Myrtle Beach with his wife, Tabitha, for a "Monday After the Masters" outing put on each year by Hootie and the Blowfish, including a concert by the group.
"Had a great time and met a bunch of great people," Furyk said. "I got my practice in but also blew off some steam and when I got here I was in a great frame of mind and ready to go to work."
That showed in the second round. Furyk stuck approach shots within 10 feet on the 13th and 15th holes for birdies. He caught Choi for the lead when he chipped in on No. 16.
Choi, starting on the back nine, drove out of bounds on No. 11 and put a tee shot in the water on No. 14, both for bogeys. He had a double-bogey 6 on No. 18.
After defending Verizon Heritage champion Brian Gay finished his round Friday morning with a 70, the agonizing wait began. Would his two-day score of even-par 142 be good enough to make the cut?Just barely.
The field of 132 golfers was cut at even par. Because 82 players made the cut, the field will be sliced to low 70 and ties after today’s third round.
Gay was at 1 under with two holes to play, but his tee shot at the par-3 17th plugged in the bunker, leading to a bogey, and his approach at No. 18 went off the back of the green and into the trap. He was able to save par on the final hole and managed to squeak his way into the third round.

LUTZ - When Tom Watson plays in events such as the Masters and British Open, the 60-year-old thanks the Champions Tour for the opportunity.
"I've said it a number of times, the Champions Tour is the only reason I'm still out here and competitive," Watson said Friday after posting a 4-under-par 67 in the first round of the Outback Steakhouse Pro-Am at TPC Tampa Bay. "If I didn't have the competition of the Champions Tour, then I would have been history a long time ago in terms of the Masters and British Open."
Watson's 67 included six birdies and a double-bogey on a course he said would give PGA Tour players a run for their money.
"I am still competitive on courses like this," he said. "This is a tough golf course. If the kids played this golf course, they would have a tough time."
Watson's 67 has him and five others tied for fourth, two strokes behind leader Mark O'Meara.
"Playing this golf course is like going through a minefield," Watson said. "There are a lot of shots out there that you're faced with water. To keep it out of the water, which I did (Friday) with the exception of one drive (No. 4), is kind of the game plan - and I did pretty well."
Greens all the rave
Watson, a two-time champion at TPC Tampa Bay, had the course's new greens to thank, in part, for his 67.
The greens were replaced after last year's event, and Watson managed to sink a 50-foot putt on No. 8 and left a 60-footer "an inch dead in the heart" on No. 9.
"(The greens) are beautiful," Watson said. "They're great putting surfaces. They didn't change the contours - I haven't found anything different. But they're very smooth."
O'Meara, the first-round leader, used only 22 putts in his eight-birdie, two-bogey round.
"I didn't putt very well at Augusta last week," O'Meara said. "But I did a lot better (Friday) so that was nice. The golf course is in really good shape. The greens are in good shape, but they are firm. The scoring is not going to be quite as low because of that."
Brooks: Not ready for the tour
Former Bucs linebacker Derrick Brooks, playing in a group with fellow Florida State University graduate Paul Azinger, said he had fun "telling some war stories" and was grateful to be picked up a few times by his partner, Tom Lehman.
"The pros really make us feel at home," Brooks said. "We do the best we can to stay out of the way. Once I got in the groove, I hit a few good shots. But by no means am I ready to cut it as a professional golfer."
Brooks sent his best wishes to former NFL receiver Jerry Rice, who said he has turned professional and was playing in this weekend's Nationwide Tour stop in Northern California before missing the cut Friday. Rice entered with a sponsor's exemption and is the tournament host.
"Those guys are no slouch," Brooks said. "Hopefully, Jerry will have fun and the guys will welcome him out there."
Brooks and Lehman finished the first round 8 under, good for a tie for third place. The top 16 teams after today's second round advance to Sunday's final round.
Here are numbers no pro golfer wants beside his name: 83-76, for 17- over-par 159. But that's what Jerry Rice, who will go into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in August, shot at the Fresh Express Classic in Hayward, Calif. this week in his debut as a professional golfer.
Rice's rude introduction to pro golf calls to mind an incident at a dinner party in Toronto a while ago that bears on the dreams some pro athletes have of morphing into successful pro golfers. A decent player for whom money wasn't a problem wanted to devote himself to golf with the goal of making it to the Champions Tour. He was seeking advice.
It's not right to crush a dream. But it also seemed important to balance his dream—his fantasy? —against reality.
“If you do make it, and that's a gigantic ‘if,' you'll be playing against golfers named Tom Watson, Tom Kite, and Hale Irwin,” I told him, trying not to sound discouraging but failing mightily. “Still, you can afford the effort and you have the time. Go for it.”

"I woke up at 2 staring at the clock," Rice said Friday. "I couldn't wait for the sun to rise. I had to get out here and redeem myself."
He achieved his goal, in many ways, by posting 5-over-par 76 in the second round of the Fresh Express Classic. That didn't prevent him from missing the cut by a country mile, but it provided some satisfaction - he pocketed three birdies and 10 pars and improved on his opening-round 83 by seven strokes.
Rice soon will get another chance on the Nationwide Tour. His manager, Sasha Taylor, told The Chronicle that Rice has agreed to play in the Nationwide event in South Carolina (May 13-16) on another sponsor exemption.
He also expressed interest in returning as tournament host - while also playing - when the tour returns to Stonebrae next year.
So, no, Rice was not deterred by going 17-over in his inaugural whirl on a professional tour. He entered the event with realistic expectations, knowing tournament conditions would make scoring difficult.
"I'm just going to continue working at it - this is a game you have to work at every day," Rice said. "... I had to fight my way back, but I'm very happy about shooting 76."
Rice regretted changing his swing (and his putter) before Thursday's opening round; he wanted more distance off the tee, but the tinkering led to several wayward shots. He returned to his old ways Friday, with better results.
David Hearn, a 30-year-old Canadian who attended the University of Wyoming, took the lead by shooting 65 on Friday. He moved to 13-under, two shots ahead of Miguel Angel Carballo and Frank Lickliter after two rounds.
A grueling Masters finally caught up to K.J. Choi on Friday at the Verizon Heritage — and Jim Furyk, Charles Howell III and Greg Owen took advantage to top the second-round leaderboard in the PGA Tour event.
Furyk (68), Howell (67) and Owen (69) were tied at 7-under-par 135, a stroke ahead of a group that included two-time Verizon champion Boo Weekley (68) and Stuart Appleby (67).
