Boo Weekley turned in a 4-under-par 35-31=66 for his opening round of The Honda Classic, good for very early possession of the clubhouse lead.

Had you told the native Floridian that he'd sign for a 66 after opening bogey-bogey, it would have been entertaining to hear his reply. As we've witnessed over the years, he makes and breaks rounds with his putter, which was on fire today. Weekley split nine (of 14) fairways and hit 14 greens to give himself chances. He played his last 16 holes in bogey-free 6-under with six birdies. After he poured in a par save from 11'3" at the fourth hole, four of his birdies dropped in from beyond 10 feet, including conversions from 19'2", 17 feet and 25'1" at Nos. 9, 11 and 13.

David Hearn followed his opening 64 at the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial with an 8-over-par 42-36=78 in his second round to post 2-over 142 and miss the cut.

As we suggested on Thursday, he was going to have a tough time backing up his opener given his fortune with long putts while missing four inside eight feet. Indeed, the law of averages caught up with him today. He missed all 11 birdie opportunities and fanned on three attempts inside 10 feet. In addition to four bogeys, he penciled in a 7 at the par-3 13th where he rinsed both his tee ball and his third stroke.

Graham DeLaet backed up his opening 64 at the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial with a 3-under-par 33-34=67 in his second round to reach the midpoint in 9-under 131, good for outright possession of the early 36-hole clubhouse lead.

The long-hitting Canadian landed 13 greens in regulation today but suffered four bogeys. He compensated with seven birdies, four of which from outside 11 feet. The longest of the set measured 22'6" at the 14th hole and 28'7" at 8. While his distance hasn't ebbed, he's also split 22 (of 28) fairways en route to 28 GIR and 12 birdies.

Patrick Cantlay withdrew during his second round of the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial due to a back injury.

Really? He's 21 years of age. Let's just hope that he elected not to push it and it's not serious. He was 3-over through seven holes today and 8-over through 25, so he wasn't anywhere near the cut line. Cantlay entered the week ranked sixth on the Web.com Tour money list. That position is in jeopardy since the circuit is in Mexico this week.

Luke Donald completed 36 holes of the BMW PGA Championship in 6-over-par 78-72=150 and will miss the cut.

No threepeat for the Brit, although he really should have been going for four in a row if not for a meltdown on the 71st hole at Wentworth in 2010 when he settled for a co-runner-up finish. This week he hit only 20 greens in regulation and still amassed 60 putts. He poured in five birdies today but still couldn't break par.

Sergio Garcia settled for an even-par 35-37=72 in his opening round of the BMW PGA Championship.

This, of course, was his first round since his racially senstive comment earlier in the week. Given the conditions in England today, it's not a bad score, but he saved his round with an eagle-3 at the (in)famous 18th hole. Prior to that, he holed four birdies and swallowed four bogeys and a double.

Charley Hoffman signed for a 4-under-par 36-30=66 following his opening round of the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial.

Props to Blondilocks for reeling in a red number today. He started on the 10th hole and was 3-over after seven. That early stumble included a rinsed tee ball at the par-3 13th where he'd roll in a putt for bogey from 11'8". After a three-putt for bogey from just inside 20 feet at the par-4 14th, he found water off the tee again, this time at the par-3 16th. Hoffman then settled down and played his final 11 holes in bogey-free 7-under with seven birdies, four of which finding the cup from outside 12 feet. The highlight of the bunch was the first one, a 29-footer at 17. He concluded his round sitting just four strokes off the clubhouse lead.

Colonial Country Club member Ryan Palmer thrashed his home course for eight birdies en route to a bogey-free, 8-under-par 31-31=62 in his opening round of the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial.

Palmer split 12 (of 14) fairways and hit 14 greens in regulation en route to a career-tying low on the PGA TOUR. It's the fifth time he's signed for a 62 and the second time this season (final round; WM Phoenix Open). Today's gave him a comfortable clubhouse lead as the afternoon wave begins. Three of his birdies disappeared from beyond 10 feet, the longest of which 17'3" at the 14th hole. At the time he signed his card, he owned the longest drive of the day (353 yards, par-5 11th hole) while his strokes gained-putting split sat north of 2.700. He tied for fifth in this event last year and posted a T5 at THE PLAYERS two weeks ago.

Retief Goosen withdrew from this week's BMW PGA Championship on Wednesday due to a lingering injury in his back.

What started as a hopeful year has rapidly devolved into a problem for his fantasy owners. Goosen withdrew during his opening round of THE PLAYERS two weeks ago due to his back. He had surgery to repair an issue last August, and then made an early return to competition in January. Entering this week, he sat 152nd in the Official World Golf Ranking.

Pat Perez withdrew from the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial during his opening round, citing a shoulder strain.

Perez started on the 10th hole and completed seven holes in birdie-free 2-over before calling it quits. He arrived in Fort Worth ranked 66th in FedExCup points. UPDATE: Perez updated his condition on Twitter, writing: "Strained nerve under collarbone. Could be a while. Damn."

Spencer Levin is scheduled to tee it up at the U.S. Open sectional qualifier in Columbus, Ohio, on June 3, according to PGATOUR.com.

This is obviously great news. It was just on April 10 that Levin announced in a Google+ Hangout hosted by the PGA TOUR that he'd take the entire season off to recover from thumb surgery. Today's news included a note that he's going to work in starts on the Web.com Tour beginning in late August. These would be considered rehab starts in advance of the 2013-14 season that begins on Oct. 10.

An expansive article at Golf.com reveals that Brandt Snedeker learned recently that he has a rare condition in his ribs referred to as low bone turnover.

In short, Snedeker's ribs don't regenerate at the rate of a healthy 32-year-old. "I had everything tested [at the Mayo Clinic] and they found this one anomaly in my DNA," he said. "What it boils down to is that my ribs are just really brittle compared to the rest of my bones. So I’m on this medication [Forteo] that is supposed to strengthen your bones and keep this stuff from happening." (Forteo is not among the prohibited substances on the PGA TOUR's drug policy.) While he's dealt with four cracked ribs in recent years, Snedeker's latest malady was a strained oblique muscle originally sustained in January before the Humana Challenge. He played through it and capped a ridiculous run with a win at Pebble Beach. Now that he has a lid on this condition, we should expect consistently strong form moving forward. The 2012 FedExCup champ is on a two-week respite before next week's Memorial. He's posted top 10s in two of his last three starts.
