Six players take a share of the lead at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am into the weekend. Tied at 10-under par through two rounds are first round leader, and defending champion, Dustin Johnson, J. B. Holmes, Alex Cejka, Bryce Molder, Matt Jones and Paul Goydos, who shot the low round of the group with 65.
The six leaders are one shot better than David Duval, who shot 68 in the second round for sole posession of seventh place. Padraig Harrington is tied for eighth place with D. J. Trahan and Alex Prugh at eight-under par.
Moving Day
With 41 players within five shots of the lead, the third round – moving day – should be exciting. It seems wide open for anyone to make a move. From the back, Nick Watney and Jim Furyk have some work to do at five-under par. Tim Clark may be the dark horse at six-under par. The South African is still in search of his first PGA TOUR win and with a second round 68 could put himself in position tomorrow to make a run on Sunday.
Vijay Singh slid back 15 spots after a second round 71 but is still dangerous. Phil Mickelson shot 67 in the second round to move up 31 spots into a tie for 11th place, three shots off the lead. Tied with Mickelson are Steve Marino and Luke Donald, who both are players that can pull out a victory here. And, it would be nice to see Harrington raise a trophy this week after a tough rebuilding year last season. The sentimental choice is Duval, as many would like to see the former champion back in the winner’s circle.
Who will break the tie?
Dustin Johnson seems very comfortable in his title defense and may be tough to beat. J. B. Holmes is playing well in 2010 and may steal the trophy from Johnson.
