The wet and windy second round of the CA Championship is completed, and despite these tough conditions, there were many good scores out on the course today.
Ernie Els has the lead at ten under after shooting a flawless 66 today. His round was solid in every aspect, carding 27 putts, 71% driving accuracy, and 78% GIR. It is quite evident that the hard work he has put into the changes in his game have paid off this season, as he is making a resurgence on tour.
Robert Allenby is right behind at nine under after a 67 today, but his two rounds so far have lacked consistency. After coming into the clubhouse yesterday four over on the last four holes, he cards an eagle, an ace, six birdies, three bogeys, and a double today. Exciting rounds for the crowd to say the least, but Allenby must certainly feel he has left alot of strokes out on the course.
Paddy Harrington is one sneaky little player. He quietly tip-toes up the leaderboard, no one really paying him much attention, and then bam! He goes into beast-mode and smashes the competition on the weekend. Every single one of his three majors have been won in this fashion, and don't look now; after shooting a four under 68 today, the Irishman is only four shots off the pace.
This tournament's field is probably one of the best all year, not including the majors, but the top of the leaderboard isn't really filled with marquee players. Vijay and Mike Weir sit at five under, while Camilo and Phil are withing striking distance (four under) if they can put together a solid weekend.
