Field is 156, Jon Rohm withdraws due to foot infection.
Hole #6 may be the hardest hole, watch roll offs on greens especially #5.

3 M Pavon-3 67 Starts with 2 eagles 1 birdie but then 2 bogies.

83 T Woods+4 74 Six bogies 2 birdies at 49 time to think about the Champions Tour.

Cut+5 Missed Hovelnd Rose Homa+6, Woods +7, Zalatoris Day Fowler+8, D. Johnson+9,
Thomas Higgs+11, Mickelson+15
Important information RDs 1 & 2
Pinehurst 2 again shows its difficulty, as seen by the scores. Some top players missed the cut or played themselves out of the tournament. Aberg, DeChambeau & McIlroy played well as expected. Cantlay played his best 2 rounds of the year. Detry, Finau and Horschel were the biggest surprises. The winner should come from of these players.
