"It was good to get a win a few weeks ago," said Griffin. "It was nice to be in the top 10 at the PGA Championship last week. Yeah, I feel like I've put in a lot of work, especially in the gym this year training really hard, trying to gain some speed, stay healthy and feel good out there and feel strong."
Schmid delivered a bogey-free card including seven birdies to rise to 11-under on Friday as he continues his search for his first win on tour.
"I would say it was just a very solid round of golf," he said. "Started off hot. Had a couple of good breaks on the rough. I gauged the distance right, and I mean, I just played quality golf from there on, I would say."
Rickie Fowler thrust himself into contention as he shot a round of 64 on Friday, leaving him tied on six-under alongside Fleetwood and four others.
"it's definitely coming around," Fowler said. "I know it's been slow last year and slow start to the year. Body is starting to feel better, and the game I feel like it's been in a good spot and not very far off. It's a fine line out here. Nice to see things starting to come together a bit.
"It would have been nice to continue on from our front nine, but a solid day on a Friday. We'll see if we can get after it this weekend."
