Beon Yeong Lee, an amateur from Montreal, put on an afternoon show and shot a second-round 68 to finish at even-par for his two rounds. Although it is too early to tell what this will mean for Lee's chances of heading to Pebble Beach, the seven birdies that Lee put together show that he's got game.
An afternoon round of 68 is impressive given that many players in the field have fizzled off after strong first rounds, and the breezy conditions may continue to plague players who still are on the course. A few players to mention who are still on the course and going strong include Dan McCarthy of Syracuse, N.Y., Blaine Peffley of Lebanon, Pa., and PGA Tour pro Len Mattiace.

Mattiace-Wilson Group Updates
-Adam Holzschuh
18th Hole Shot-by-Shot
Mattiace:
-Drive down the right-hand side of the fairway, ended up rolling into the first cut
-Decides to hit fairway wood, pulls it left, but the ball takes a gratuitous bounce off of a tree and puts him in a decent lie with a look at the pin
-Pitch shot hits the back edge of the green, bounces off the back
-Beautiful chip just past the pin, sinks a par-saving 7-footer
Wilson:
-Wilson's drive strays into the right fairway bunker, however he has a decent lie
-Great shot out of the sand to put him approximately 75 yards from the hole on the left side of the fairway
-Pitch shot takes a hard bounce and rolls off of the back of the green
-Chip shot comes up short, leaves Wilson with an 8-foot par putt, which he lips out
-Makes tap in for bogey on the 18th

Mark it down as another par for Mattiace at the 17th. He remains at two-under for his first nine of the afternoon round. Cameron Wilson missed another close par putt for his fourth bogey of the second round.

Len Mattiace continues his consistent play by recording another par at the 16th. Wilson's struggles continue as his 10-foot par attempt lipped out forcing him to settle for another bogey, his third in seven holes, and bringing him back to even for the day.

We will be providing updates for the group of Len Mattiace and Cameron Wilson for their first nine holes of the second round. Mattiace started off Par-Birdie-Par-Birdie-Par while Wilson went Bogey-Bogey-Par-Par-Par as they just finished the 14th hole. Mattiace drilled a six footer for birdie on the 13th and his birdie on the 11th hole was one of the few on the day - if not the only one on the challenging par 3.
Wilson struggled to find his rhythm out of the gate as both his approach shots and putts missed the target on the opening holes. The young phenom is familiar to the pressures of tournament golf, but with a first trip to the U.S. Open on the line, mental toughness will be the key.

It's on at Canoe Brook
-Billy Condon
The quest for the four available U.S. Open slots has started at Canoe Brook Country Club in Summit, N.J., with 62 hopeful professionals and amateurs. Past MGA winners Cameron Wilson and Andrew Giuliani have already teed off. Wilson, the 2009 MGA player of the Year is playing with PGA Tour pro Len Mattiace. On their first hole, Wilson unloaded one of his long drives, but the lefty pulled it into the right rough. Mattiace wasn't as long, but ended up safely in the middle of the fairway.
Today's conditions are favorable with a slight wind and hard, fast putting surfaces. The wide fairways and large greens of Canoe Brook should play to the players advantage, but with a field full of talent, these competitors will need rely on attacking the flagstick and scoring birdies for their shot at Pebble Beach in two weeks.
