Golf: Bubba Watson takes control of Travelers Championship

Big-hitting American Bubba Watson took control of the Travelers Championship, fashioning a two-shot lead after the second round in Cromwell, Connecticut.

Watson, the 2010 winner of the event, shot a 3-under-par 67 to move to 10-under, two shots clear of Ireland's triple major champion Padraig Harrington (66) and PGA Tour rookie Patrick Reed (66).

Australian Nick O'Hern (66) was in a share of fourth place with Americans Hunter Mahan (71), Tommy Gainey (67) and Tag Ridings (65) at 7-under.

Watson backed up his opening-round 63 with four birdies and a bogey and despite taking a solid advantage into the weekend claimed his game was a little off.

Overnight leader Charley Hoffman was four shots off the pace after a 3-over 73 that included a double-bogey, three bogeys and two birdies.

Major winners Keegan Bradley (65) and Webb Simpson (69) sit just four shots off the pace while last week's US Open winner Justin Rose (68) was a further shot back at 5-under.
