The Starter: Round 2, Shell Houston Open
At most PGA TOUR events, especially those that are as affected by the winds of change like the Shell Houston Open, a few players go very low early Thursday and then are brought back to the pack when they play in the breezier afternoon wave on Friday. This year at Redstone, nobody ran off in the opening round, so watch out early Friday to see if an Anthony Kim, a Lee Westwood, a Justin Leonard or a Cameron Percy, who are very much in the hunt from the late wave Thursday, goes low and sets the pace for the weekend if the winds are down in the morning.
Westwood and Leonard got to the same opening-round number, 69, but had somewhat different attitudes headed into Friday's second round. Westwood only made three birdies but was rarely in any trouble and didn't make a single bogey. He seemed a bit ho-hum when I talked to him afterward while Justin Leonard was juiced by his very different 69 -- with seven birdies, two bogeys and a double. Leonard felt like he had just a couple of bad swings and feels that a fix he made with his putter is finally taking hold.
