| Here are some of the players you'll see during Saturday's coverage on CBS: |
| CHEZ REAVIE |
| Reavies two round total of 128 is his career-best after 36-holes on TOUR. He had a 129 at the 2008 RBC Canadian Open, which is his only win on TOUR. Reavie has held two previous second-round leads/co-leads on TOUR. He finished 72nd at the 2004 Michelin Championship after holding the second round co-lead and he won the 2008 RBC Canadian Open after holding the outright lead after two rounds. |
| STEVE STRICKER |
| Two-time defending champion Steve Stricker is trying to become just the ninth different player to win a PGA TOUR event three straight years since World War II. Stricker is looking for his third straight multiple-win season on TOUR. He is currently the only golfer to have multiple wins in both 2009 and 2010. |
| STEVE MARINO |
| Marinos 130 after two rounds is his best 36-hole score on TOUR. His previous best of 131 was done twice, first at the 2008 Children Miracle Network Classic (T3) and at the 2011 AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am (T4). In search of his first PGA TOUR win in his 136th career start, Marino has finished in the top-25 in four of his last six starts on TOUR. |
