  • Second-Round Notes – Friday, March 20, 2009
    2009 Transitions Championship (The 13th of 37 events in the PGA TOUR Regular Season) Palm Harbor, FL March 16-22, 2009 FedExCup Points: 500 Purse: $5,400,000 Innisbrook Resort & Golf Club, Copperhead Course Par/Yards: 36-35—71/7,340 Second-Round Notes – Friday, March 20, 2009 74 players made the 36-hole cut at 1-over 143, which is the lowest since 2004 when 73 players made it to the weekend at even-par 142. After his first-round, 2-under 69, Steve Stricker fired a bogey-free, 4-under 67 in round two to claim a share of the 6-under lead with Nick Watney. His round-two score adds to an impressive 2009. Other than the first two rounds of the FBR Open (74-72) and the final round of The 50th Bob Hope Classic (77), Stricker has not posted an above-par round in any of the six stroke-play events in which he has started in 2009. The 2009 Transitions Championship marks Steve Stricker’s fourth start here. He missed the cut in 2004 and 2007, but following a final-round 66 last year, he earned T14 honors. Steve Stricker has held at least a share of a 36-hole lead, one of which he has converted one into victory (1996 Motorola Western Open). His most recent 36-hole lead was the 2008 Barclays, where he ultimately finished T13. Steve Stricker played his first nine holes of the tournament in 1-over. However, he has played his last 27 in 7-under. Additionally his accuracy has dramatically improved from round one to two.
