Stanley sets Torrey pace, Mickelson misses cut SAN DIEGO (Reuters) - Little-known American Kyle Stanley birdied his final hole to grab a one-shot lead in Friday's second round at the Farmers Insurance Open where fan favorite Phil Mickelson was the biggest name to miss the cut. In light breezes and dazzling sunshine at Torrey Pines, the big-hitting Stanley carded a four-under-par 68 on the tricky South Course, one of two layouts hosting the fourth PGA Tour event of the year. Fellow American Brandt Snedeker was alone in second after firing a sizzling eight-under 64 on the easier North Course with South Korean Bae Sang-moon (67) and American Martin Flores (67) a further stroke back at 12 under. Three-times champion Mickelson ended a disappointing week prematurely, however, as his five-birdie 68 on the North layout was not good enough to help him make the cut. The American left-hander had faced an uphill task coming into Friday's second round after opening with a woeful 77 on Thursday. "I don't feel like there's any one area that I feel bad about my game," Mickelson told reporters after finishing at one-over 145. It's just that I'm not bringing it from the practice session on to the golf course yet. I'm not sure why that is, but the good news is my practice sessions have been great in every area. The cut fell at two-under 142 with former major winners Angel Cabrera of Argentina and South Korea's Yang Yong-eun among those failing to advance.
