Sullivan, Landry, Piercy? Where are these guys coming from? Lol Piercy could be about 10-under right now if he could make a 3-footer.

Course playing pretty easy right now. 20 guys under par for their second round....12 of them are 2-under or better. 

You make this comment every major homeboy

Ok.  Credit where it's due.  I've gotta commend Fox on their camera work following Paulina walking with DJ to the scorer's tent...

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

I hope DJ can get this one. It would be cool to see if he can get one where it will lead. He has enough game to win anywhere.

Scott Piercy is coached by a pro I follow on Twitter, radargolfpro, very prolific Tweeter.

You can make par the easy way, and you can make par the hard way.

Sergio Garcia just made par on the ninth the hard way.

I left Oosthuizen for dead back at the first hole; he's made four birdies in a row since then.

Oosthuizen is dangerous. That's one guy that could be +10 and still in it. I actually think he was +9 or +10 at one point last year at Chambers Bay and came all the way back to almost win.

I think DJ has good shot this week. Actually threw some money on him pre-week.  Just seems to be coming together for him.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day (2 May 24) - somehow I missed posting both Tues and Weds practice sessions - so the streak ends and a new one begins…. Focus today was on ball first contact using the Divot Board for reference.   Worked with 7i, 9i and GW hitting hard foam balls.  Started hap hazardly and then settled back into my pre-shot setup.  Much more consistent in the latter.

      My Favorite Putts

      By Clemsonfan ·

      August 2010 Woodfin Ridge 18th hole Playing in a large tournament with a slew of friends and the last day was two man best ball. The 18th, when it was bent grass, was very fast due to a steep slope on the right side. I had seen many people over the years putt off the green from above the hole. I hit a great drive and 3W to 30’ left of the hole. With everyone watching my partner hit it way too fast and never high enough and his ball rolled all the way to the bottom of the green.  I hit mine much higher and the ball came to rest about 20” above the hole. Then it slowly started trickling towards the hole for a walkoff eagle! Nobody said anything except my partner who was yelling pretty loudly. I looked at the crowd and told them it was okay to clap because it was a great putt, and they gave me a bunch of polite golf claps and brought me a beer!
