Notable Notes
D.J. Trahan is 8 under -- His 64 in the second round on Silver Rock consisted of 13 one-putts needing only 23 total putts for the round. This ties his career best for fewest putts in a round. The last time Trahan putted this well in a round was the third round of the Reno-Tahoe Open in 2006.
Kenny Perry hit every fairway in yesterday's second round on Silver Rock. This is the 25th time in Perry's career where he has hit every fairway in a round. (This last occurred in the third round of the 2007 Memorial Tournament.)
Boo Weekley's 11 total birdies in Friday's third round on PGA West beat his career-best total birdies in a round by three. (His career record before Friday was eight in the first round of the 2007 Mayakoba Golf Classic.)
