I have been watching the morning groups play on ESPN before heading out to Pinehurst #2 for the afternoon pairings. With still a few holes to go for most of the morning folks, there are a lot of players in the red. As of this writing, 8 players are under par and Olin Browne (who shot a 59 in a qualifying round) is the leader in the clubhouse at -3 after shooting a 67. (Also at -3 right now is KJ Choi, who has drained three monster putts in the last hour alone.) Here is a link to the leaderboard.
As for the big 5, Retief Goosen is at -2 right now, Tiger is even, and Els is +1. All three are doing exactly what they need to do on Thursday to make sure they are in the hunt on Sunday. I’ll get to see in person if Mickelson and Singh can do the same this afternoon.
