Friday Night Recap - Arnold Palmer Invitational

Friday Night Recap - Arnold Palmer Invitational

So, I guess Jon Rahm is human after all. He shot a 4-over 76 to move from solo first to T13. Also, Bay HIll is playing very difficult, with very fast greens, winds gusting, and very firm. Two players are left to finish up their second round - Justin Suh at 2-under and Greg Koch at 2-over. They only have one hole left to play. If Koch birdies, then the cut will move to 1-over. If he doesn't birdie and makes anything else, it will be 2-over. They will tee off at 7am tomorrow, with the third round starting immediately once they finish.

Kurt Kitayama is the solo leader at 9-under. His updated odds are +900. Jordan Spieth is a in solo second at 7-under and has odds of +600. Jordan has been putting the lights out this year. He, also, snap-hooked his drive on 18 to end his day with a bogey. Pros, they're just like us. Viktor Hovland had an ACE on the Par 3 7th. Drinks are on him next time you run into him at a bar.

The Players Championship field is set. Find the full list for next week here. No Tiger.
