I’m back at the Deutsche Bank after another trip to the Boston Golf Club in Hingham to talk to some local junior golfers. I think everybody is taking Route 3 to the Cape today. Yikes!
As for the golf here at TPC Boston, Tim Clark is clinging to a 4-shot lead over Steve Marino and Mike Weir. Marino is 4-under for the day, while Weir is one. (Interesting Steve Marino local connection: Marino played a practice round with Old Sandwich GC assistant pro Eric Dugas at the PGA Championship.) The biggest mover of the day is Ben Crane, who fired an 8-under-par 63 to go from 5-under and near the cut line to 13-under and currently a tie for fourth. Also charging hard are Camilo Villegas (13-under through six) and D.J. Trahan (12-under through nine). But there’s still a lot of golf to play.
As I said yesterday, I’m curious to see if the course plays any tougher. The scoreboard tells me no, but it’s hot and sunny, which means the greens should run a little faster. I’m going to watch some golf and see what the crowd’s like. I’ll check back in in a little while.
