As the wacky weather and wind has hindered the first and second rounds at the WGC Cadillac Championsihp, Hunter Mahan continues to command the way. He followed up his blistering 64 on Thursday with a solid 71 today to lead the field at 9 under par, one stroke better than new world number 1 Martin Kaymer of Germany. Although he did make 2 bogeys in a 3 hole stretch, he isn't worried at all. "I feel great," Hunter said when asked of how he feels at the halfway point. Hunter certainly has looked like the player to beat so far, with him being tied for first in birdies and 10th in putts per GIR (Greens In Regulation). He's been all around solid these first two rounds, and looks forward to seal the deal and grab his second career World Golf Championship victory.
SIDE NOTE: As this finish will most likely be won by one of these two young guns, the two greatest players in the last 10-15 years still continue to have their struggles. Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson are both at a shameful Even par, after shooting rounds of 74 (Woods) and 71 (Mickelson). They stand at T-34th out of this 66 player field, which is virtually right in the middle of the pack. However, they will be paired up again for the 3rd round (albeit 9 shots from the lead), so my guess is that they will be receiving as much air time as the leaders, especially if they play well.
