India`s Anirban Lahiri holed six birdies, but it was not enough to hang around for weekend action as he missed the cut by a shot at the AT&T Byron Nelson Championship here. Placed precariously at the event where low scoring has been the norm, Lahiri shot 70 each in the first two rounds and despite a 4-under 140 total, he fell short by one shot. It was a day when the winds picked up in the second round, but low scores meant missing birdie chances was going to be costly. After missing a bunch of putts in and around 10 feet, Lahiri had a roller coaster of a second round with six birdies, four bogeys and eight pars.

It has been a rough patch for Lahiri, who has missed half the cuts in his 14 starts, which includes two top-10s and a best finish of fifth at the Texas Open. Meanwhile, an in-form American Sam Burns carded a career-best 62 to lead on 127 from second-placed Alex Noren. Korea`s K.H. Lee shot back-to-back 7-under 65s for his career-low 36-hole and lies in third place and three behind leader Burns. Burns (65-62) is 17-under, while Noren (65-64) is 15-under and Lee at 14-under. Notable players missing the cut include Rickie Fowler, Jason Day, Sergio Garcia and Brooks Koepka. The 29-year-old Lee, playing his third season on PGA Tour, put together a seven-birdie round at TPC Craig Ranch on Friday and all his birdies were all from inside of 12 feet.
