It hasn’t exactly been a triumphant return to Pebble Beach for noted golf enthusiast Tiger Woods, who made history at this very course in 2000, when he annihilated the field to the tune of a 15-stroke victory. Pebble Beach is playing much tougher this time around, with Northern Irish journeyman Grame McDowell, whose previous best finish at a major was his tenth-place showing at last year’s PGA Championship, leading the way at 4-under through 16 holes of his second round. McDowell has recorded six birdies and two bogeys on the day, after finishing his first round on Thursday at even.
2010 U.S. Open At Pebble Beach, Second Round: Graeme McDowell Leads At 4-Under, Tiger Woods Still Struggling
Dustin Johnson, Brendon de Jonge and Alex Cejka make up a troika of golfers who have begun their second rounds who are currently tied for second at 1-under, with K.J. Choi, Mike Weir, Ian Poulter and Rafael Cabrera-Bello also knotted at 1-under, though they have yet to tee off for their second rounds.
Meanwhile, Tiger Woods has continued his travails at Pebble Beach, shooting 2-over on the day through 12 holes to bring him to 5-over on the tournament, nine shots off the lead. Phil Mickelson -- who can overtake Woods for the top spot in the world rankings with at least a third-place showing -- is set to tee off at 4:36 PM EDT, after recording a 4-over round on Thursday.
