Dustin Johnson leads after day one for a second straight week, carding a -8 64 on Pebble. We have a leaderboard filled with familar faces that have seen major success in the past, but have been struggling recently.
Highlight Rounds
K.J. Choi is sitting in second place after a blemish-free 65 that contained five birdies and an eagle. After successful seasons in 2007 and 2008, last year was a letdown for K.J. He has started this year fairly strong however, and is continuing his good play.
Boy, David Duval's name is appearing more and more frequently at the top of the leaderboard. Sitting at -5, he looks to climb out of the depths of his slump (which he is already beginning to do) and regain the form he had in the late 90s when he was the best golfer in the world.
Heading the Wrong Direction
Adam Scott is looking to recover from a disastrous 2009 campaign where he missed 9 out of 19 cuts. He missed the cut yet again last week and is in danger to do so this week as well, as he currently sits at +1.
Jamie Lovemark, yet another talented young gun, is sitting at the bottom of the leaderboard at +3. He may not have the same amount of hype Ricky Fowler has garnered, but Lovemark's play at last year's Fry's.com Open showed real potention.
Looking Ahead
Many of the PGA Tour's best sit fairly close to lead, with Vijay at -5, Furyk at -4, and Harrington at -3. They, among others will try to make a move. Look for the leaderboard to fluctuate with many players bunched up near the top.
