MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Tournament favourite Adam Scott held a share of the lead after the second round of his home Australian Masters on Friday but rued a wayward back nine that left him vulnerable to a weekend challenge.

Starting a stroke ahead of the field at Melbourne's Huntingdale Golf Club, the former world number one was five clear at the turn but came unstuck at the 10th, where a double-bogey stalled his momentum on a cool and drizzly afternoon.
