Spaniard Garcia climbed up the leaderboard after carding a 66
Sergio Garcia moved up to second place at the Transitions Championship in Innisbrook, Florida after carding a second round of 66.
The Spaniard struck five birdies to sit eight under, one shot behind leaders Garrett Willis and Chris Couch.
American Webb Simpson is also on eight under after a second successive 67.
Justin Rose shot 65 to join fellow Englishman Paul Casey and several other players on seven under, while world number one Martin Kaymer is four under.
Casey fired a seven-under-par 64 to grab a two-stroke lead at the end of the first round but could only manage a par 71 on Friday.
Garcia, playing in his first PGA Tour event in seven months, has yet to hit a bogey this week.
