Nine players are tied for 10th after the second round at -6: Sam Stevens, Stephan Jaeger, Min Woo Lee, Maverick McNealy, Zach Bauchou, Kevin Roy, Nicolai Hojgaard, Michael Kim and Jake Knapp.
Ryo Hisatsune just finished at 8-under 63 for the day, putting him at -11 for the tournament, which puts him one stroke ahead of Hideki Matsuyama atop the leaderboard.
Hisatsune was -3 in the first round on Thursday.
Hisatsune birdied six holes in the second round. He also eagled the 15th hole.
From the 13th to 17th holes, he shot -6, with four birdies and the eagle.
This is the impressive shot that gave Hisatsune the lead heading to the 18th hole.
Hisatsune, 23, is seeking his first PGA Tour win.
Scottie Scheffler began the day behind at +2, three shots behind the projected -1 cut line.
He shot a 6-under 65 today to move him to -4 for the tournament. He birdied the 5th, 9th, 10th, 13th, 15th and 18th holes to comfortably make the cut and to at least give him a shot a getting back in contention in the WM Phoenix Open.
He is seven strokes behind the leader.
The 2016 and 2017 champ continues to embrace the Phoenix Open atmosphere.
“I really like it,” Hideki Matsuyama said through an interpreter following the second round. “I’m grateful for how many fans come out and watch us play golf. You have to play well here.”
He said he really has no problem dealing with the boisterous reactions from the crowd.
“If they boo, you probably hit a bad shot,” he said. “But I really don’t hear it — except at 16. You just have to regroup out there (and take it) one shot at a time.”
By early afternoon, Matsuyama’s 7-under was bettered only by Si Woo Kim, who shot 9-under 62 and moved into the top five.
Some big names need to rally to avoid missing the cut at the WM Phoenix Open.
The projected cut line is at -1.
Jordan Spieth was at even par through five holes in his second round.
Scottie Scheffler was at +1 in the tournament through five holes (and -1 today). Tony Finau was at +2 though five as well.
Brooks Koepka, a two-time winner of the event at TPC Scottsdale, won’t be playing the rest of the tournament after ending his second round at +2 overall in the two rounds.
John Parry shot a 5-under 66 to position himself as a contender in the WM Phoenix Open for the weekend sitting at -7 after two rounds.
Parry had three bogeys during his second round, but he hit eight birdies to move into a tie for fourth when his round was done.
Parry contending is a great story for the PGA Tour. He’s 39 and he’s competing as a rookie.
Si Woo Kim sat at +2 after the first round of the WM Phoenix Open.
After the second round he is at -7 after shooting a 9-under 62 to vault up into a tie for third place, three strokes behind clubhouse leader Hideki Matsuyama.
Kim, who started on the 10th hole, bogeyed that hole. But he more than made up for it with an eagle on the 13th hole and eight birdies in the round, shooting the best round of the day so far.
Akshay Bhatia has positioned himself as a contender for the WM Phoenix Open title with a strong -3 opening round and an even stronger -4 in the second round.
His second round included an eagle on the Par 5 13th hole.
Bhatia was tied for third early in the afternoon, three strokes behind clubhouse leader Hideki Matsuyama.
Hideki Matsuyama isn’t the only golfer to impress in the second round of the WM Phoenix Open.
Several golfers that had morning tee times have put up impressive rounds to move up the leaderboard.
After shooting a +2 in the first round, Si Woo Kim is at -8 today through 16 holes, tied with Matsuyama for the best score so far in the second round (including recording an eagle on the Par 5 13th hole).
After ending his first round at even par, Min Woo Lee has shot -6 through 14 holes in the second round.
Stephan Jaeger is -5 today through 17 holes after going -1 in the first round.
Tom Kim is -5 today to move to -3 in the tournament. He is done for the day.
It’s making for a crowded field up near the top of the leaderboard and adding a lot of intrigue to the WM Phoenix Open at TPC Scottsdale.
Hideki Matsuyama has birdied two of the first six holes on the front 9 to extend his lead in the second round of the Waste Management Phoenix Open to three strokes over Chris Gotterup, who hasn’t started his round yet.
With birdies on the fourth and fifth holes, Matsuyama has pulled to -11 overall.
He is -8 in the second round today.
He has three holes left today after starting the day on the back nine: Holes 7, 8 and 9.
It’s been a very impressive performance.
Could Hideki Matsuyama win the WM Phoenix Open for the third time this year?
The two-time tournament champ is off to an impressive start to his second round.
Matsuyama, who started on the back nine in the morning, birdied six straight holes (13-14-15-16-17-18) to move to -9 overall through nine holes in the second round, taking a one-stroke lead in the tournament over Chris Gotterup (-8), who has an afternoon tee time.
Matsuyama shot -3 in the first round.
He parred the first three holes on the back nine to start his round today, before starting the impressive streak of six straight birdies.
Matsuyama previously won the WM Phoenix Open in 2016 and 2017.
Another golfer is shining on the course in the shadow of Hideki Matsuyama.
Brian Campbell is -4 through nine holes today, moving him into a tie with Sam Stevens for third place at -7, two behind Matsuyama.
Campbell was -3 in the first round.
He has birdied holes 3, 5, 6 and 9 in the second round to climb the leaderboard.
Sam Stevens had one of the best rounds for golfers that had an afternoon tee time in the first round, shooting -5.
He’s picked up where he left off in the second round.
Stevens, who entered the day tied for third in the PGA Tour event at TPC Scottsdale, is now all alone in second place at -7.
He is through six holes in the second round. He birdied the first two holes to move to -7, one stroke behind Chris Gotterup, who has an afternoon tee time.
