Round 2 complete and the weather conditions have had there say in things. Those players who drew afternoon tee times on Thursday and morning tee times on Friday have had the better of the conditions.
The big leftie Phil Mickelson takes a 1 shot lead into the weekend. At 46, he could become the oldest winner in 100 years. Interesting to hear his post round interview. Phil said he had lost some weight and regained his swing, and can't see why he can't keep his form going on, not only this week, but for some years to come. I must admit he did get a bit porky (pot, kettle, black) there for a while. Good luck to him.
Swede Henisk Stenson returned the best card on Friday with 65, to be one off the lead.
Leaderboard
P. Mickelson -10
H. Stenson - 9
S. Kjeldson -7
K, Bradley -7
Z. Johnson -5
T. Finau -4
B. Haas -4
C. Schwartzel -4
G. Adams -4 (A. Johnson)
I t will be interesting if someone can jump out of the pack in the morning (Saturday) and reel in Mickelson.
Zac Johnson 5 shots back could be the danger. Thought Martin Kaymer was looking good early yesterday, but he faded off the 1st page of the leaderboard.
