Webb Simpson, who skipped last week’s tournament after his daughter tested positive for COVID-19, made a late birdie to earn a two-way share of the lead after the second round at Detroit Golf Club on Friday.

Simpson, seeking wins in consecutive starts after a triumph in South Carolina 12 days ago, birdied seven of his first 13 holes and moved into a share of the lead when he holed out from a greenside bunker at the par-four 16th.

Rickie Fowler (71) offset two front-nine bogeys with back-to-back birdies starting at the 12th hole to get inside the cutline and added another at the penultimate hole to sit six shots back of the leaders.
