Robert Gamez, Lee Janzen
Tee time: 6:55 a.m.
Tee: No. 10, Palm GC
Total TOUR wins: 11
Why you should watch: It hasn't been the best of seasons for either player in 2008, but a win at Disney could change all of that. Gamez is off to a sizzling start after a 7-under 65 in the first round. Janzen wasn't quite as solid, but still managed to shoot a 3-under 69. Janzen, who lives nearby, would love nothing more to have a big week at home. The majority of Thursday's low scores came from the Palm Course, which bodes well for this duo.

Troy Matteson, Kirk Triplett
Tee time: 7:25 a.m.
Tee: No. 10, Magnolia GC
Total TOUR wins: 4
Why you should watch: This twosome played off one another nicely in the first round. Matteson owned the first-round lead after a 9-under 63 at the Palm Course, while Triplett was just two behind after a 7-under 65. At No. 96 on the money list to start the week, Matteson is safe regardless of his outcome at Disney. Triplett on the other hand, was No. 245 to start the week and needs a win to earn a spot in the top 125. If they can feed off each other in birdie-mode again on Friday, it could make for an interesting weekend.

Stewart Cink, Joe Durant
Tee time: 11:15 a.m.
Tee: No. 1, Magnolia GC
Total TOUR wins: 9
Why you should watch: It's been a magical year for Cink. He's No. 9 on the money list, earned a win in Hartford and was a member of the U.S. Ryder Cup team that defeated Europe for the first time since 1999. The roll continues at Disney, where Cink started with a 6-under 66. Durant started the week at No. 143 on the money list. Not a very comfortable spot to say the least, but he can take solace in the fact that he's just two year's removed from a win at Disney. That comfort was evident on Thursday when he recorded a 4-under 68.
