text size

• With rain forecast for Saturday, officials moved up the start of Saturday's third round to 8:15 a.m. Twosomes will go off the 1st and 10th tees between 8:15-9:18 a.m.

Bean

• The back nine has been good to Andy Bean through two rounds. The former Florida Gator golfer is a combined 8-under-par on the back nine and is 10-under-par overall.

• Nick Price, who trails leader Andy Bean by one stroke, is the lone player in the 29-man field without a bogey after 36 holes.

• Here is where the players still eligible for the Charles Schwab Cup points title stand after 36 holes. Only players finishing in the top 10 receive double points in this event.

• The oldest player in the field, Tom Jenkins, who is seven weeks shy of his 61st birthday, needed just 25 putts to fire the lowest round of the day, an 8-under-par 64. It was one shy of the tournament record. His performance today, which vaulted him 21 spots up the leaderboard to T3, also matches his lowest round of the year (2nd Rd- ACE Group Classic; 1st Rd- Greater Hickory Classic at Rock Barn).

• One day after there were no eagles, Bernhard Langer posted the event's first on the par-5 16th hole.

Funk

• Gene Jones leads in both Greens in Regulation at 88.89 percent (32 of 36) and Driving Accuracy at 85.71 percent (24 of 28) through 36 holes.

• Playing as a solo, Fred Funk completed his round in two hours, 40 minutes.

• The field scoring average (69.828) was almost similar to Thursday's average of 69.897. A total of 22 players finished with rounds under par compared to 23 on Thursday and 12 players posted rounds in the 60s compared to 14 a day earlier.

• Hole No. 4 was again the most difficult with a scoring average of 3.069 (+.069). The easiest was No. 16 with an average of 4.448 (-.522). Only one player made a birdie on No. 4 on Friday -- Nick Price. Jeff Sluman was the only one to do so on Thursday.

• Andy Bean leads in total birdies with 13, one more than John Cook.
