The start of the round was delayed an hour because of frost, and play was suspended because of darkness at 6:05 p.m. with 42 players unable to finish. Last year, frost and frozen greens delayed play nine hours during the week, forcing a Monday finish.
"I knew I was going to be here in the morning for the second round, so I wasn't worried about it if we had to come back and restart," Palmer said. "So, I didn't think about it and I just kept hitting shots and sticking to my game plan."
Webb Simpson was a stroke back on the Stadium Course at TPC Scottsdale.
"It's one of those courses that just fits your eye well," said Simpson, the highest-ranked player in the field at No. 6.

Gronkowski, recovering from a high sprain in his left ankle, participated on a limited basis for the first time since being injured Jan. 22 in the third quarter of the 23-20 win over the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC championship game.
"He did some things. He didn't do everything," Belichick said. "We'll see how he is (Friday). I think that will be the big key."
Gronkowski, who set an NFL single-season record for tight ends with 17 touchdown catches, took part during the second half of the nearly two-hour practice for Sunday's championship game against the New York Giants.
"It was fine," Belichick said, "It was a good test for him, too, at least. At least he was out here and did some things to see how it feels. We'll see how it goes."

Hanson enjoyed a strong first half of the 2011 season, posting a 10-4 record and 2.44 ERA. He made only five starts after the All-Star break due to persistent pain in the shoulder. A small tear was found in his right rotator cuff that did not require surgery. He was 1-3 with an 8.10 ERA after the break and did not pitch after Aug. 6.
Hanson resumed throwing last month and said before Thursday's workout at Turner Field his outlook for 2012 continues to rise.
"I definitely feel a lot more optimistic now than a couple months ago or even last month," he said.
Hanson said he is throwing on his normal offseason schedule and expects that to continue when Braves pitchers and catchers report to spring training on Feb. 19.

Josh Harvey-Clemons, an outside linebacker from Lowndes High School in Valdosta, went on national television to announce he was signing with the Bulldogs.
But he didn't immediately follow up by faxing his official letter-of-intent to the school, leading to reports his family wasn't happy with the decision and wanted him to attend either Florida or Florida State, which are both much closer to their south Georgia home than Athens.
Turns out, Harvey-Clemons didn't waver. The Bulldogs announced he faxed his papers to the school at 8:30 a.m. Thursday -- almost a full day after his announcement -- to give the Bulldogs a total of 19 signees and a class ranked among the top 10 in the country by at least two major recruiting services.
"I knew when I went there, that's where I wanted to go," Harvey-Clemons said when revealing his decision. "It felt like home. It seemed like they want to win and compete for championships."
