Luckily Zach Johnson rallied back after a horrible triple-bogey 6 to shoot a good round of 67 to get him to 8-under for the tournament. But it's Ryan Palmer in the lead heading to the weekend after a real solid 65, 66 start.
Some other notables inside the Top 10 are Robert Allenby (-8), Chad Campbell (-8), Steve Stricker (-7), Davis Love III (-6), and Angel Cabrera (-6). Campbell's bogey-free 64 today is the best round so far.
As for the reigning major winners:
Angel Cabrera: 66, 68 (T8th)
Y.E. Yang: 70, 69 (T39th)
Stewart Cink: 68, 72 (T59th)
Lucas Glover: 75, 69 (MC)
It's the long-hitting Cabrera leading the way.
Some notables to miss the cut are: Luke Donald (+2), Justin Leonard (+2), Bill Horschel (+4), Lucas Glover (+4), John Daly (+5), Stuart Appleby (+5), and Rickie Fowler (+7).
My predictions for over the weekend are going to have to be that Johnson, Stricker, Campbell, and Allenby. All are great ballstrikers, and on these smaller greens you need to be precise. I think Zach Johnson has all of the tools to repeat. As well as Stricker.
A guy who I think will make a jump up the leaderboard on Saturday is Pat Perez at 4-under. He's a guy who can really tally up numberous birdies every day.
I'll be back with an update tomorrow after the round.
