Tiger isn’t playing, Phil is no where to be seen and despite this, amazing and amazingly exciting golf is being played as we speak. That’s right, Round 2 is in full effect and we’re all hoping that the same weather that provided an agonizing 4-hour delay doesn’t show back up on the course today. Word on the course is that clouds are surrounding the area but so far they’ve yet to open up and release the torrents of water that they did yesterday.
Chris Riley Dominates to Top Spot
As mentioned, scores are dropping, fast, and currently sitting all alone in the lead is Chris Riley. After tying his own personal record best round of 63, which included birdieing 4 of his last 6 holes he is sitting solidly in the lead at -11 after only two rounds. Hot on his heels, however, is a two-way tie for second place between Sergio Garcia, who is in some serious need of some FedEx Cup points, and Bill Haas at -9. They are both in the clubhouse so any remaining chasing of Riley will have to be done in Round 3.
Projected Cut at Low -2
Another indication of just how low scores are at this tournament can be indicated by simply checking out the projected cut line. Any and all golfers, at this point, who can’t get their score down to -2 or better will most likely be going home. -2 for a cut line, talk about impressive play at a tournament. Some of the more notable names that are currently at or below that -2 cut line might surprise you: Bubba Watson, Adam Scott, Stuart Appleby, and Lee Janzen among others. Not to say that they aren’t playing decent golf, just that they aren’t playing the same caliber golf that the rest of the field happens to be playing.
Tune In, Enjoy Great Golf
Nevertheless, it’s getting better and there is still plenty of golf left to be played during Round 2. If you’re not watching right now, you should be, so get up and turn that channel. No Tiger, No Phil, No Problem.
