Eric Axley had one of the most interesting scorecards you will ever see. Axley started his first eight holes at 9-under, eagling No. 10 and making birdies on Holes No. 11-16 (he started on hole No. 10). He then made par on Holes No. 17, 18, 1, and 2 and made a quadruple-bogey seven on the par-3 No. 3 and then birdied Holes No. 5, 6, and 7 to shoot 7-under 64. Steve Allan and Todd Demsey are also T7, with Axley at 8-under.

Amateur Bryan Hoops, who was tied for the first-round lead after an opening round of 7-under 64, is T12 after a second-round 1-over 72 that saw him fall 11 spots. Despite his second-round struggles, he is still in a good position to earn his spot on the Tour with a good 36-hole finish.

Notables

Former collegiate teammate of Tiger Woods and four-time PGA Tour winner Notay Begay III is T32 after rounds of 69-71.

Former Ryder Cupper Boo Weekley is T57 after rounds of 70-73.

Former Atlanta Braves and Hall of Fame pitcher John Smoltz is looking to earn his spot on the Champions Tour, but two rounds of 80-76 have him in 75th place at 14-over.

“I don’t live in a false reality,” Smoltz told the PGA Tour before his first round. “This sport is really difficult. I’m not trying to think that this is something that I could do for a whole year or not. But it’s fun to attempt it.”
