Friday 19th of November
The Tour first major has provided plenty of excitement so far with a big group of players jam packed at the top ! AHudd is the lone leader of the tournament after a fantastic round of 28 (-7) in very difficult conditions on Bethpage Black course. He is only 1 stroke clear of a group of 4 players including paulmcm, The Sony Open Winner PRIESTESS, jimbean346 and coolswing, just 1 stroke clear of a big pack of players ! In fact there's a total of 29 players within 5 strokes of the lead and with the final round being 18 holes, any thing can happen here ! So strap yourself in for a great finish to see who will don the famous green jacket at the end of Sunday night !
Here is the top of the leaderboard after round 2 -
The race to grab that all important top 20 postions to gain WGA points is really hotting up. Remember that the top 32 players in the WGA Points Standing will automatically qualify for the WGC Match Play tournament starting next week, so keep your eyes on the leaderboard to follow the outcome of the final round !

THE CUT LINE -
- Total number of Players entered: 83
- Total of Players made the cut: 46
- Total of Players did not finished: 9
With the typical difficult course conditions set for a major the players have switched up a gear and produced great golf though the first 2 rounds. As a result the competition was intense and there was plenty of pressure at the end as the cut line continued to move up the leaderboard and eventually settled at the impressive score of -2 ! That mean the entire field for the final round is only within 8 strokes off the lead and with a full round of 18 holes to play, there'll be plenty of shuffling around on the leaderboard that's for sure !
