The second round of the tournament has set the stage for an exciting Moving Day, with a tight leaderboard leaving plenty of top players within striking distance. Currently, Sam Burns leads at -3, followed closely by JJ Spaun at -2 and Viktor Hovland at -1. The competition remains fierce as Adam Scott, Ben Griffin, Victor Perez, and Thriston Lawrence are all in contention within a few strokes.
Notably, several big names have missed the cut, including defending champion Bryson DeChambeau, Dustin Johnson, Shane Lowry, and other former champions and major winners. However, the spotlight is on the lone amateur, Justin Hastings, who has secured the low-amateur medal by making it to the weekend rounds. Despite not making the cut at the Masters, Hastings’ performance at this tournament showcases his potential in the amateur circuit.
As the action unfolds, golf enthusiasts can look forward to an exciting lineup of tee times featuring top players from around the world. With notable pairings like Rory McIlroy and Xander Schauffele, as well as Jon Rahm and Collin Morikawa, the competition is set to intensify as players aim to make their move up the leaderboard. Stay tuned for an exhilarating day of golf ahead!
