Well, not too bad so far. Could obviously be much better....but all in all, I can't complain.


Goosen had a rough day...but he certainly the type of player that can play under the radar and next thing you know...BOOM!...he is on the first page of the leaderboard. Retief needs to play solidly tomorrow and make the cut, then anything can happen.

IMHO, Donald is done...he doesn't have the game to go really low and get back in this thing.

Verplank is respectable at +3. OHair is +3 through 12, so that could go either way.

Cink is +2 through 16....that's certainly acceptable.

Toms struggled late...too bad. Still, I can live with +2 today.

Ogilvy at +1 playing with Tiger today. Very nice...especially when he only hit about 55% of the fairways today. He doubled 8, but came back very nicely. I'm clearly an Ogilvy fan....winning last year at 75/1 will make you a fan...at the same time, I think the kid has all the makings of being a very, very good player. His long iron play is amazing. He can hit a 2, 3 and 4 with the best of them on the tour today. I really don't see him repeating....but he certainly has the game to do it...he's just prone to really bad holes. That's one thing about Tiger....he avoids the big number....Ogilvy doesn't.

This is going to be FUN this weekend.

Hey JoePa, just a recommendation....I like to DVR the first two rounds, watch about every shot I can and then makes some plays to win after I've seen how the players are handling the course, how they appear mentally, etc. You can get some pretty good lines at the midway point. May want to look into that.

GL!!
