(Reuters) - Bubba Watson was not fazed by strong winds and trickier pin positions as he rolled right along with an error-free day to earn a two-shot lead after the second round of the Travelers Championship on Friday.

The two-time Masters champion followed his nine-birdie opening round with a flawless three-under 67 at the TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut.

At 11-under for the tournament, Watson holds a two-shot lead over Swede Carl Pettersson (66) and Americans Brian Harman (65) and Brian Stuard (67).
