Nick Hardy could sell his start to the leaders. The American, who won the PGA Tour’s Zurich Classic of New Orleans pairs event alongside Davis Riley in April, has opened birdie-par-birdie-par to advance to +2 and tied 40th. Back at 1, Sergio Garcia has scribbled in an opening birdie to climb to +1 and tied 32nd.
Up ahead, Ishikawa’s round is highlighting the difference in the two nines. The Japanese was first man out today and reached the turn in 1-under. He started the back nine with another birdie but has since bogeyed 11, 13 and 14 to drop to 63rd of the 65 players who made the cut.
