The strong winds were the protagonists during the second round of the Texas Children's Houston Open but there were great movements and quite a few surprises on the leaderboard. The cut line was drawn at 1 over and 83 players surpassed it.
Defending champion Tony Finau found his best game in the strong winds and fired a round of 62 to climb to the top of the leaderboard.

2024 Texas Children's Houston Open: Higlights from Day 2
Tony Finau played his round with an eagle, seven birdies and a bogey to climb 34 places and lead alone in the Houston Open. Finau's score is 9 under after 36 holes.
Two surprise players occupy the second and third places in the Houston Open. Argentina's Alejandro Tosti trails Finau by one stroke, while Belgium's Thomas Detry is third, two strokes behind the leader.
Six players are tied for fourth place, including Scottie Scheffler, who played his second round for even par. Scheffler saw broken his string of 28 consecutive rounds with score under par, and set at 218 his streak of consecutive holes without committing double bogeys, as he found one on the 18th hole.
Jason Day stands out among the players who did not make the cut. The Australian (2 over) was just one stroke away from being able to play the weekend.
