Quicken Loans National 2016: Friday Leaderboard Scores and Highlights

The PGA Tour's follow-up to the nearly impossible conditions that Oakmont Country Club presented at the U.S. Open is the Quicken Loans National at the more scoring-friendly Congressional Country Club.

Here's a look at the leaderboard after Friday's second round:

With the cut line set at even par Friday, 42 golfers saw their tournaments end early.

Jon Rahm made his professional debut at the Quicken Loans National on Thursday, and he's taking full advantage of the opportunity. After two rounds, he's tied at the top of the leaderboard after a four-under second round put him at 11 under overall for the tournament. 

The 21-year-old reeled off a clean front nine in which he recorded four birdies, with his best and most bizarre shot coming on No. 4, via the PGA Tour:

After a bogey on No. 10 dropped him to three under on the day, Rahm looked poised for a strong finish with birdies on Nos. 16 and 17, but a bogey on the 18th hole saw him relinquish his one-stroke lead and move into a tie for first.

Billy Hurley III is tied with Rahm after reeling off a six-under 65 on Friday with seven birdies and one bogey on the day.

Hurley utilized an accurate long game to spark his big round with a 67.86 driving-accuracy percentage while hitting 75 percent of his greens in regulation.

The PGA Tour showed his best shot of the day, which came at No. 10:

Vijay Singh put together one of the best rounds of the day with a five-under 66 that was bookended by a few tough holes.

After opening up his round with two bogeys within his first three holes, Singh caught fire with birdies on Nos. 5, 6 and 8 to get to one under on the day as he turned onto the back nine. 

Once there, he pulled off four straight birdies from Nos. 11 to 14 and added another on No. 17 to get to six under on the day and nine under overall. But a venture into the water led to a bogey on No. 18, as the PGA Tour showed:

At the time of his finish, the man who is 32 years older than Rahm was in the lead.

The PGA Tour pointed out that a win for Singh would be historic:

While he is three strokes behind the lead heading into Saturday, Singh has an opportunity to win his first PGA Tour event since 2008.

Given that the course at Congressional Country Club is offering some solid rounds, no lead is safe, especially with two rounds left to play. 

It's going to come down to consistency, though, as golfers toward the top of the leaderboard can't stall. As the tournaments heads into the weekend, expect the leaders to rev up the intensity and play an aggressive style of golf to try to pull out a win.
