"We struggled today to execute our game plan," Williams said.. "This is a championship-level course and setup, and this field is the most competitive we've seen all year. I know we can manage ourselves better and make fewer mistakes out here. We need to come out tomorrow and fight for every stroke because there is a lot of golf left to play over the next two days."
Amano, Lu and Ryu all finished Friday play with six-over-par 76s. Ryu rolled in back-to-back birdies on holes two and three, while Amano added a birdie on the 14th hole.
