Sog Island

By Billy Condon

After thunderstorms caused play to be delayed, the players are back out on the course and low scores continue to saturate the leaderboard. Roger Hoit finished his second round with an impressive 66, good enough as the low round of the tournament so far and is tied for the lead at 138. Joining Hoit is Joe Saladino, who fired a second-round 67. Chris DeForest is still out on the course finishing up his second round, but was 4-under at the turn for the championship.

The weather delay reminded everyone of the scenario that the USGA encountered two weeks ago at Bethpage as they tried to complete the U.S. Open, but the sun is peeking through again and the competitors are eyeing birdies.

Billy,

In the 2nd day of photos, I saw someone I used to play against in college and high school in the background of Bryan Pendrick's photo. However, when I looked his name up in the scores, it was nowhere to be found. when I looked his name up in the qualifying scores, I saw he missed it by one stroke at one of the sights. How would he have then entered the Ike on the 2nd day?

Thanks for the comment Steve. Although he didn't qualify, Ryan was kind enough to be a marker for us during the Ike.
