CROMWELL - Arjun Atwal recovered from an early double bogey for a three-under 70 that saw him make the weekend rounds of the Travelers Championship.
Atwal, lying tied 60th at two-under for 36 holes, started with a birdie the 10th, but dropped a double bogey on the 13th before making birdies on the 14th and 15th.
He added birdies on second, sixth and ninth with a bogey on fourth for his 67. Last week, Atwal missed the cut at his maiden US Open at Pebble Beach.
Daniel Chopra with rounds of 69 and 76 missed the cut.
Justin Rose shot an 8-under 62, with five birdies on consecutive back-nine holes for the second straight round, to take a four-stroke lead over Kevin Sutherland Friday in the Travelers Championship.
Rose, the Memorial winner three weeks ago who failed to qualify for the US Open last week at Pebble Beach, broke the tournament record for the first 36 holes, finishing at 14-under 126. The 62 was one off the course record at TPC River Highlands.
Sutherland shot his second straight 65. Vijay Singh, 66, Corey Pavin, 66, Bill Lunde, 63, and Charlie Wi, 67, were five strokes back at 9 under.
