    Sam Burns and some LIV guy named Herbert both shot 62 this morning. Herbert and Cam Young who shot anoher 67 are tied for the lead currently at -8 and Jackson Suber had a solid round and is now 2 back of the leaders.

    Scottie and Bryson are out in the afternoon wave.

    Bryson didn't shoot a 62 but he had a great round and sits at -7 1 shot off the lead. He of course is a LIV golfer as is Herbert the leader. Scottie had a good round and is at -4 with a bunch of other guys in a good position. If his putter had been hot today he'd have been a bit lower.

    Rahm hit a tremendous shot on 18 and looked to have s sure birdie to get to -5 but I guess he either didn't read the putt correctly or he pulled it

    Hold on folks, it looks like the R&A is going to penalize Bryson for improving his lie/stance/swing in the rough. It's going to be a 2 shot penalty and that will drop him to -5.

    It certainly is a rule that those guys have to know and that they can't go into the rough like a lot of amateurs like me do routinely. One of those rules of golf that even to me seems like a reasonable one in a competition like a pro tour event where a lot of money and prestige is on the line.
