Okay, it wasn't exactly a Bohemian Rhapsody at the Barclays, but play WAS delayed twice due to lightning in the area. And as a result, it's way too early to even guess who might be in contention come Sunday.
For the guys who performed early, it turned into a long day. Tiger, for instance, wanted eleven hours to finish his round. (He's -four, simply three off the lead.) He said the rain made the route play much slower than within the practice rounds, and that virtually played into the game overdue inside the day.
Some of these late starters are suffering however it is still early of their rounds. For instance, Bill Haas is 2 however he is simplest performed 5 holes. The early a part of the course has played fairly hard, especially for the men who performed past due, however there may be lots of time to come back again with an amazing score. Mickelson, at -1 after 6 holes, bogeyed the primary hollow however came again with 2 birdies. McIlroy, who performed early within the day, had 3 doubles but nevertheless controlled to put up at E.
My pick for the week, Dustin Johnson, is E after 6 holes. My choose to take it all, Jordan Spieth, commenced at the lower back nine with a double and made the turn at 3, however completed with 4 birdies on his front 9 to put up at -1.
If you failed to capture any of the first spherical, you need to without a doubt take a peek at the leaderboard. You just might be surprised at a number of the leaders. Kevin Stadler's on pinnacle, Camilo Villegas is just one lower back, Ryan Palmer and Jason Day are inside the blend. (Of path, a number of the standard suspects like Henrik Stenson are up there as well.) The leaderboard will probably alternate a lot today because the first spherical players in the end submit, however it appears the direction changes are making it extra scoreable no matter the rain..
The irony of all of it? While the guys on the Barclays struggled with awful music lyrics, plainly the "Queen" was in Canada. In case you failed to pay attention, defending champion Lydia Ko is already tied for the lead after the primary spherical.
To paraphrase the late Freddie Mercury... "Better tie your mother down!" This weekend could get a little wild.
