Cohen Leads After Two

Camilo Villegas' 5-under, 65, gave a lot of players hope - but, there wasn't a lot of scoring at Royal Birkdale today. There wasn't a lot of scoring in the pool either. Only ten points were registered in the entire pool for the second round, compared to 36 in round one.

While 83 players made the cut (low 70 and ties), we had 24 picked in our pool. Only Andy Cohen had all eight picks make the cut. Fannon, Ridge, Dwyer and Hasan all have seven players teeing it up this weekend.

Today we may have witnessed the resurgence of David Duval, who made only his second cut of the season by shooting 73, 69. He enters the weekend only three shots behind leader, KJ Choi. We also may have witnessed the demise of John Daly, who shot a two-day total of 169 - 29 shots over par. Daly will be looking for something else to do this weekend. Do they have a Hooter's over there?
