Adam Hadwin leads the Valspar Championship after 36 holes, but here are three other players lurking just a few groups back heading into the weekend.

Wesley Bryan (-6)

Bryan has been in a groove lately, finishing in a tie for fourth in each of his last two events - the Genesis Open and Honda Classic. This week, the rookie has been average off the tee and with his approach shots, but is near the top in putts per GIR and birdies.

James Hahn (-5)

Hahn didn't have a great round on Friday, while playing in the tougher afternoon conditions, but is just five back heading into the weekend. He's still one of the best on tour at hitting fairways and greens - a must at the Innisbrook Copperhead Course. The two-time winner has made just three bogeys through two rounds, and all three came on Friday.

Matt Kuchar (-4)

Innisbrook is a perfect golf course for Kuchar, and his results have proven that over the years. The seven-time PGA Tour winner has made just one bogey at the halfway point this week, while also leading the field in pars. Kuchar is capable of hitting a lot of fairways and greens, while also getting hot with the putter.
