Dufner Surges on Cut Day (Cut +3)

On day 2 of the Crowne Plaza Invitational, Jason Dufer shoots straight up on the leader board from -5 to -11 and had a hell of a game. He hit 71% of his fairways along with 83% of his greens. He had a bogey free round for a total of -6, or 64.

On the other hand, Sergio Garcia didn't have the greatest round. He started out excellent, but then on the 9th hole hit 2 balls in the water and finished the hole +4 and went from -6 to -2. Garcia finished the day with a total of 1 under par.

Tommy "Two Gloves" Gainey also played a great round. His total score is -7 and in the 2nd round, he too went bogey free. Gainey only had 25 putts in the round. It has been a while since he has played great and if he continues this consistent play, he still has a chance to win. Gainey had a very positive attitude in his post round interview and I look forward to watching him in the weekend.

In 2nd place is Zach Johnson. He went 3 under for the round which included an eagle on the 1st hole. Zach looked very good off the tee today accuracy wise and distance wise. In round 2, Johnson averaged 305.5 yards with his driver which is much more than his season average (over 30 yards more).
