Holmes Tames Monster (well, sort of...)

J.B. Holmes is known for at least two things on tour - his booming drives and slow play. He's leading after the second round, so at least he won't have anyone waiting impatiently behind him. Holmes is the only player under par (-1), this is the first time since 1972 (at Oakland Hills too) that only one player was under par after 36 holes.

Ben Curtis and Justin Rose (nope, no relation) each shot the Low Round of the Day (LRD). All-in-all, there wasn't much scoring in our pool in round two, only a total of 10 points - and 5 of those were by Rose.

After 36 holes in our contest, Mike Ridge has taken the lead. Mike was the only player to have all eight of his picks make the cut (that's only happened one other time I think, I'll research and get back to you). Cary and Andy are in 2nd & 3rd places.

Remember that the scoring for the final two rounds is a little different. For the LRD, we'll only be looking at scores from PICKED players. So, at least one contestant will earn 5 points in the third and fourth rounds - so even tho I'm sitting in last place, if Andres Romero can shoot the LRD each of the last two days and end up winning - I still have a chance!!!

Good luck, enjoy your Saturday.
