Birdie: Scott Piercy
Piercy is going to bed Friday night tied for third at the Masters. His round today consisted of twelve pars, three birdies and three bogeys, which seems like a good, ho-hum kind of round for a PGA pro. But it was a lot more than that in the second round. Tough conditions, highlighted by strong wind, put a fortress up around Augusta National. Piercy said of the day: “For the most part I just kind of hung in there, made pars when I needed to, tried to make a birdie when I could, and tried to eliminate the bogeys.” That kind of straightforward strategy could keep him hanging around all weekend. -- Keely Levins
