The first groups are ready to tee off in today's second round of the Travelers Championship. Here's how it sets up:

Groups We're Watching

Tee time	Players
7:42 a.m. ET No. 10		Kenny Perry, D.J. Trahan, Aaron Baddeley First-round leader Kenny Perry will try to follow up Thursday's 61 with another low round.
1:03 p.m. ET No. 10		Hunter Mahan, Paul Goydos, David Toms Goydos sits at 7 under after one round, while Toms is two strokes back at 5 under.
1:34 p.m. ET No. 10		Lucas Glover, Vijay Singh, Chad Campbell Glover followed up that U.S. Open win with a 65. Singh also fared well on Thursday with a 4-under 66.

EXPERT PREVIEW: PGA TOUR Network on-site correspondent Mark Carnevale previews Friday's second round:

Friday's forecast

Scattered T-Storms
Temp: 84 high/66 low
A few storms may be severe. Winds will come from the southwest at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 50 percent.

I never knew Lucas Glover was a surfer. Riding the victory wave after his U.S. Open win, Glover carded a 5-under 65 in round one. It truly has been an exciting week for Glover. He's been on the Late Show with David Letterman, Regis and Kelly and got a shaving cream pie thrown in his face courtesy of Johnson Wagner. Glover said it hurt a bit, but he went on to hit his tee shot on the first hole of the pro-am anyway. I am making a prediction that, after Glover plays his second round, his cell phone will be off and he will get some much-needed rest on Friday afternoon.

There is no question that TPC River Highlands was at the mercy of the PGA TOUR professionals on Thursday. There are well over 100 players under par heading into the second round. With rain predicted for the afternoon, look for the low scoring to continue. I predict we will have one of the lowest cuts on the PGA TOUR this year.

Like Lucas Glover, Ricky Barnes also fed off his performance last week. Barnes shot 65 as well in the first round. The second round could be a big one for Barnes. With another strong finish, he would move closer to securing his PGA TOUR card for 2010. After an up-and-down career, it is nice to see him playing well.

Look for Vijay Singh to have a good round on Friday. A disappointing bogey on his final hole (No. 18) in round one certainly had to make him a little hot under the collar. He will come out on fire in the second round.

Stat of the day

Boo Weekley birdied the first six holes (Nos 10-15) on his way to a 6-under 64. Ryuji Imada and Brian Davis have recorded birdie streaks of seven this season, while Camilo Villegas, Fredrik Jacobson and Luke Donald have streaks of six.
