2009 Masters Leader Board Update Day Two: Chad Campbell Hanging on to Lead but Kenny Perry Closing Gap

After Day One at the 2009 Masters it was clear that it was the golfers who controlled the course as scores in the 60s were scattered across the leader board but on Day Two it became evident that Augusta National was ready to take back everything it gave on Thursday as golfers struggled to repeat their magic.

That didn’t appear to be the case for Chad Campbell as the 34-year-old attacked the opening ten holes and was sitting 4-under on the day and 11-under for the Masters. It all changed on 11 as he hit bogey and then followed with a double-bogey on the par 3, 12^th. Campbell managed to par the next four holes but found trouble on 17 for the second straight day and settled for bogey. Fortunately for Campbell he saved his day with a birdie on 18, a hole that he bogied on Thursday and finished 2-under 70 on the day and holds a two-stroke lead over the fast approaching Kenny Perry.

Perry was sitting three-strokes back when the day began after firing a 4-under 68 on Thursday and through 15 on Friday he was 4-under on the day and one-stroke behind Campbell.

Todd Hamilton finished his day 2-under 70 and is now sitting three strokes behind Campbell heading into the weekend. Jim Furyk is now 1-over after three holes on Friday and sits 5-under for the tournament. Furyk’s 6-under on Thursday was matched by Hunter Mahan but Friday was a different story for the 27-year-old as he was at 3-over through 17.

Of course all eyes remain fixed on Tiger Woods and after a 2-under 70 on Thursday he sits even after 13 holes on Friday and is tied for tenth on the leader board. Woods put together a birdie-bogey-birdie-bogey on 6, 7, 8 and 9 and could still shave a few strokes over the final five holes to climb even closer.

After a brilliant opening round in which he fired a 5-under 67 Larry Mize found nothing amusing about Friday as he was four-over, erasing just about everything he did on Thursday and after 36 holes he is sitting on a 1-under 143, tied for 22^nd. Mize wasn’t the only one frustrated on Friday as Trevor Immelman, last year’s Green Jacket winner, was 3-over on the day after 13 and was below the projected cut-line.
