Tim Petrovic, Lee Janzen, Jay Williamson
Tee time: 8:55 a.m.
Tee: No. 10
Total TOUR wins: 9
Why you should watch: Janzen was one of the few late-wave players to overcome the bad afternoon weather and take a crack at the leaderboard on Thursday. On Friday morning, a birdie on 16 gave him a share of the lead. Petrovic will be fighting to make the weekend. He starts the day at 1 over with the projected cut at even par. Williamson starts the day one shot behind Petrovic.

Troy Matteson, Carl Pettersson, Stewart Cink
Tee time: 2:10 p.m.
Tee: No. 1
Total TOUR wins: 7
Why you should watch: Just how long will Cink's momentum continue? He finished second to Tiger Woods at the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship a couple of weeks ago, then he comes out Thursday and shoots a 66 to sit one shot back of the lead heading into Friday's second round.

Pettersson is also firmly in the mix, sitting at four under, two shots back after a bogey-free 67. Matteson had a good day Thursday, as well, clocking in at 1 under.

Joe Durant, Bart Bryant, Todd Hamilton
Tee time: 2:30 p.m.
Tee: No. 10
Total TOUR wins: 9
Why you should watch: Bryant has a share of the lead as Friday begins. He's searching for his first TOUR victory since 2005. Bryant was flawless on Thursday, firing a bogey-free 65.

Both Durant and Hamilton will be fighting to make the cut on Friday, from opposite sides of the line. Hamilton is a 1 under and Durant is at 1 over starting Friday's play. The projected cut at the start of the day is even par.
