Lickliter II among open qualifiers at Sony

Frank Lickliter II successfully navigated the four-spotter for this week's Sony Open in Hawaii.

Lickliter turned in a 66 at the Arnold Palmer Course at Turtle Bay in Kahuku, Hawaii, to share runner-up honors with Eric Dugas and Martin Trainer. A 65 gave Derek Tolan medalist honors. FL2 is a two-time PGA TOUR winner, but he went just 1-for-3 during the 2013 season and was a frequent attendee at the Monday sprints. If there's a positive spin, it's that one of his three personal-low 62s occurred at Waialae in 2004, the last time he survived the cut at the Sony (solo fourth). Tolan is a career 1-for-3 in TOUR events (T32, 2012 Puerto Rico Open). Dugas missed the cut in both of his previous PGA TOUR starts, including the 2012 Sony. And in his only previous TOUR appearance, Trainer tied for 71st at the 2011 Reno-Tahoe Open. The field at Waialae Country Club is now complete at 144.

Woods holes longest putt on TOUR since 2011

Tiger Woods navigated Trump National Doral in 1-over-par 38-35=73 in his second round of the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship.

As we intimated this morning, Woods' closing sparks with the putter to conclude his opener fueled a birdie-birdie opening on 10 and 11 in the second round. He trailed with five unanswered bogeys before landing his tee ball 91'7" from the hole at the par-3 fourth. With a hearty whack, the world's No. 1 converted for birdie, and then chased it with another (from 41 inches) at the par-4 fifth. The bomb is the longest recorded conversion on a green on the PGA TOUR since Ángel Cabrera dropped in his try from 103'5" on the 17th hole at TPC Scottsdale in the final round of the 2011 WM Phoenix Open. Woods arrived at the halfway point of this week's WGC in 5-over 149, six strokes off the pace of the 36-hole quad-leaders.

Mahan among four atop the WGC at the midpoint

Hunter Mahan rode a bit of a roller coaster en route to a 2-over-par 36-38=74 in his second round of the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship.

He split six (of 14) fairways and hit 10 greens in regulation on a treacherous Trump National Doral in challenging wind. Mahan managed to grab a pair of birdies going out, dropping in tries from 23 feet and 12'5" at the 12th and 16th holes, respectively, the second of which pushing him to 1-under on the round. He also rolled in a 61-inch eagle putt at the par-5 eighth, but reached 4-over just before that conversion thanks to three bogeys and a triple at the par-4 fourth where he found water off the tee. Nevertheless, he signed his card as the last of four to share the 36-hole lead at 1-under 143.

Kuchar a 36-hole co-leader at WGC-Cadillac

Matt Kuchar turned in a 2-over-par 39-35=74 for his second round of the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship, reaching the midpoint in 1-under 143, good for a share of the 36-hole lead.

If there's progress in two steps back and one forward, today was the day. He outweighed four birdies, the longest of which from just 10'8" at the par-5 12th hole, with six bogeys, but still climbed to the top of the leaderboard. Overall, he split only five (of 14) fairways and hit eight greens in regulation.
Mar 7 - 6:40 PM
DJ over par but rises to share 36-hole lead

Dustin Johnson posted a 2-over-par 36-38=74 in his second round of the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship.

His experience is arguably the best example of what happened today at Trump National Doral. First, en route to his third of four bogeys on the round, he flew his tee ball onto the green at the par-3 15th hole only to fall victim to the speed of the surface and closely mown area behind it en route to the water when the ball came to rest. DJ would eventually walk off sitting 1-under 143 at the midpoint and with a share of the 36-hole lead despite the black number. In terms of notable conversions today, he had a couple. His second of two birdies measured 14'2" at the par-5 12th and he poured in a par save from 12'3" at 16.

Reed scrambles to save a 75; retains co-lead

Opening-round leader Patrick Reed battled to score 3-over-par 37-38=75 in his second round of the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship and post 1-under 143, good for a share of the overnight, 36-hole lead.

It was a blood bath at Trump National Doral all day. Reed was fortunate to escape, in fact, given he split only two (of 14 fairways) and needed three par saves between 12-17 feet. He also holed out for par from the fringe 17 yards away at 17. His only notable of two birdies measured 10'5" at the par-5 10th.

Pan among four open qualifiers for The Open

Cheng-Tsung Pan shared runner-up honors at Open Qualifying Series-Thailand today to earn a berth into The Open Championship.

Pan of Taiwan is a junior at the University of Washington and slotted 14th in the World Amateur Golf Ranking. He had little trouble at Amata Spring Country Club in Chon Buri today, picking off six birdies against just two bogeys to post 4-under 70-70=140. He'll be making his debut in this major. Japan's Hiroshi Iwata took medalist honors at 5-under 68-71=139 (7 birdies, 2 bogeys). He's 0-for-2 in PGA TOUR events, including in his first try at the 2008 Open Championship. Ashun Wu shared second place today at 4-under 72-68=140, trading nine birdies with five bogeys. The Chinese has made four appearances in the WGC-HSBC Champions and missed the cut in his first appearance in The Open last year. The final of the four tee times at Royal Liverpool this summer went to Yoshinobu Tsukada, who outlasted three others in sudden death with a par on the fourth extra hole. This will be his third Open; he a career 0-for-3 on the PGA TOUR.

Driscoll ties course record at PRO ... again

James Driscoll throttled Trump International Golf Club-Puerto Rico for a bogey-free, 9-under-par 32-31=63 in his second round of the Puerto Rico Open to assume outright possession of the 36-hole clubhouse lead at 12-under 132.

He circled an eagle and seven birdies today en route to tying the course record carded four times previously, including his own in the opening round in 2011. It's one shy of his personal mark on the PGA TOUR. Driscoll played the par 5s in 5-under to extend his scoring on the quartet to 9-under on the week. He's eagled the par-5 fifth both times through. He arrived on the island ranked 67th in the FedExCup standings despite having only two top 25s, neither of which going for a top 15. He's gone 223 PGA TOUR starts without a win and hasn't finished better than 100th in earnings, and that was during his rookie season of 2005.

Toms birdies half of the track in Puerto Rico

David Toms poured in nine birdies en route to an 8-under-par 32-32=64 in his second round of the Puerto Rico Open.

Toms still has it. He missed only one fairway and one green in regulation today, yet still squared a bogey at the par-3 eighth hole, his penultimate of the round. While the veteran doesn't contend like the old days, it's been less than seven months since he shredded Sedgefield Country Club for a closing 62 at the Wyndham Championship where he tied for 16th. He's currently 8-under 136, two strokes off the 36-hole clubhouse lead.

Reed goes in the books as WGC-Cadillac leader

Patrick Reed enjoyed a 4-under-par 34-34=68 for his opening round of the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship, good for outright possession of the 18-hole lead.

After six others could manage but a 69, Reed took it one deeper on the strength of seven birdies, including on each of the four par 5s at Trump National Doral. He hit the ground running with a birdie-4 at 10. After a par at 11, he went birdie-birdie-birdie at 12-14. The first of the spurt found the cup from the fringe five yards away. The second two birdies were conventional, measuring 16'8" and 29'3", respectively. Overall, he split eight (of 14) fairways and hit only 11 greens in regulation. Reed couldn't have asked for a better debut in a stroke-play WGC.

Danny Lee hits all 18 greens in Puerto Rico

Danny Lee flashed supreme precision on approach en route to a 5-under-par 34-33=67 in his opening round of the Puerto Rico Open.

Lee split nine (of 14) fairways but landed all 18 greens in regulation at Trump International Golf Club-Puerto Rico today. He converted six birdies to help hide a three-putt bogey at the par-3 sixth hole. The 23-year-old signed his card sitting one stroke off the clubhouse lead. He needs a big week in a bad way as he's cashed just twice in nine starts this season. He entered the week riding an 0-for-6 skid.

J. Day WDs at WGC-Cadillac; issues statement

Jason Day withdrew from the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship prior to his opening round, citing a thumb injury.

The Aussie was scheduled to go off the 10th tee at 11:44 a.m. ET. He took last week off following his win at the WGC-Match Play. Shortly thereafter, Day issued the following statement (in its entirety): "My left thumb was bothering me at the Accenture Match Play Championship and the pain continued here this week. I had an MRI yesterday here in Miami with Dr. Lee Kaplan. Fortunately, the MRI was negative, but the doctor prescribed rest if I was unable to play today. My plan is to rest for a couple of weeks. I'm sorry to miss the Cadillac Championship; it looks like it's going to be a great event."
