Tom Kim talks about building blocks of momentum for the rest of the season. It's starting to pay off now in the Travelers Championship. Kim started with a 62. He celebrated his 22nd birthday on Friday with a 65. That gives him a two-shot lead over Masters champion Scottie Scheffler, Collin Morikawa and Akshay Bhatia.

He looks like the No. 1 player this week, missing only one fairway and one green in the second round. That was key to scoring because officials allowed players to lift, clean and place their golf balls provided they were in the short grass. Morikawa, like Kim, did most of his work on the front nine by rolling six birdie putts. He picked up his final birdie on the par-3 16th and will be in the final group with Kim on Saturday.
