Adam Scott made nine new friends Friday.
The 2013 Masters champion led the tournament by himself at eight-under after a birdie on the par-five 15th. That temporarily eliminated a group of players at three-over from advancing to the weekend due to the Masters' 10-shot cut rule.
However, Scott missed a three-foot par putt on the 16th to fall back to seven-under, bringing the three-over crowd back into the field. That group is nine strong and includes major champions Zach Johnson and Martin Kaymer.
Scott is one of five players tied at seven-under leading the tournament into Moving Day.
