Despite shooting 12 strokes better today than yesterday, Honolulu's Parker McLachlin failed to make the cut today in the Frys.com Open in Scottsdale, Ariz.

McLachlin, a Punahou alum, shot a 5-under 65, which included eight birdies. Yesterday, he shot 7-over 77.

Another Hawaii golfer, Dean Wilson, who shot 73 yesterday, withdrew.

The cut was 139.

Arron Oberholser, who estimates he has played the Raptor Course at Grayhawk Golf Club 75 times, holds a one-shot lead after shooting a 6-under 64. His two-round total is 11-under 129.

"This was my practice facility in 2002 when I first moved down here," he said. "... I've played this golf course so many times and I've been in every spot imaginable, so I'm very comfortable around it, and I really have no fear of any golf shot out here."

Australian Steve Allan, who also lives in Scottsdale, shot a 63 and was one shot behind at 10 under on the sun-baked 7,125-yard desert layout.

Brad Elder and George McNeill were 9 under after 63s.

Paul Goydos — the 2007 Sony Open champion — sank a 47-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole to highlight an 8-under 62. Goydos was tied with Aussie Mathew Goggin, first-round co-leader John Mallinger and Robert Garrigus at 8 under.
