BACK IN A WHILE --

Well, Justin Thomas got a 9 (NINE!!) at the 6th.  He's 5 over par and likely DONE.

Follow-up on Day 2:

Here's how the leaderboard looks going into Saturday:

1. Jordan Spieth (-6): He didn't play as well as the 69 indicates, but those par saves and especially the eagle on 15 are just commonplace for Spieth when he's at the top of his game. He faced some of the worst weather of the day but capitalized in stretches when the weather cleared up. After coming up short two years ago, Spieth is the headliner and the favorite to win at Royal Birkdale.

2. Matt Kuchar (-4): It was a battle for Kuchar the whole way, trying to estimate and adjust based on the howling wind that really picked up as he was making the turn. After a bogey-free round on Thursday, Kuchar was grinding, picking up three birdies and four bogeys (two in the last three holes) on his way to a 71.

SATURDAY (5AM report):

The weather has calmed; no rain (yet) and light winds.  The leaders won't tee off for a couple of hours, and none of the big names is making a move yet.

Dufner (+5) is still sporting that ugly 'beatnik soul patch'.

The regular PGA Tour event this week is in Opelika. Full of former Booger players. Duffner would have been better off playing there.

  True

Westwood and Jason Day are both -3 for the day, and are moving up. 
But they're at +2; too far to go.
Jason Day is showing flashes of his quality play, but he's lost his mojo somehow.

I heard that his mother is battling cancer and that's been weighing heavily on him.

Branden Grace (who?) sets an all-time record in majors with a 62 today.

DJ has come alive today; 6 under for the day thus far!  Minus 3 for the tournament.

Spieth stumbles off the first 2 tees; missed both fairways.  Scrambling...

Rory LUCKY.  He missed the par-3 4th, leaving his first shot 20 yards short.  Then he chipped in. 
 

[Chechem]

Rory has 3 birdies in his first 5 holes.
He's 2 behind Spieth.  Time for Spieth to accelerate his game!

[Chechem]

Spieth finally hits a fairway (on #3).
Then he puts his 2nd shot 8" from the hole.
