Robert Garrigus threatened the course record Friday at The MINES Resort & Golf Club but settled for a second-consecutive 64 and a two-shot lead at the CIMB Classic. Garrigus made six pars to open his round then converted eight birdies in 11 holes before dropping a shot on the 18th. Another birdie on No. 18 would have matched the course record set by Jeff Overton in the 2011 CIMB Classic. Two back after a 64 of his own is South African Jbe' Kruger. Another two behind, at 10 under, are Greg Chalmers (66) and first-round leader Troy Matteson (69). Tiger Woods is five back in a group at 9 under that includes Kevin Na and Brendon de Jonge. Woods has amassed 13 birdies through two rounds, third best in the field, but has carded two bogeys on Thursday and Friday. DAILY WRAP-UP: Click to read more about Round 2 of the CIMB Classic.

By Chris Reimer, PGA TOUR staff KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia -- With a birdie on the third hole, Jeff Overton moved into a tie for the lead at 8 under. Overton finished second at the CIMB Classic in 2011. Following his round on Thursday, Overton talked about the heat, playing the course aggressively and having fun with local favorite Danny Chia. When asked about the heat at the end of the first round, Overton admitted that last year at The MINES Resort & Golf Club was the first time in his career that he had sweat through three gloves in a single round. Overton said that he came prepared with a case of gloves this week. Despite the heat and glove situation, Overton said he fed off of his playing partner and Malaysian local qualifier Danny Chia on Thursday. "We had a blast out there," Overton said. "He started making birdies and I was hitting the ball well. There were a lot of local fans following him which made it a good time." "This is a really fun course to play. We have so many options," Overton said. "That makes it one of the more fun golf courses we play all year. You don't have to hit driver on every hole, but if you are hitting your driver straight you can be aggressive." On a course where most players hit irons and fairway woods off many of the tees, Overton's aggressive play has paid off with a lot of birdie opportunities. "I've been hitting this Cleveland Classic dead on the money lately, so I have had a lot of scoring opportunities. I hit a 3-wood on No. 9 and hit driver on every other hole."

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia -- The Bomoh (a local rain/witch doctor brought in to keep the daily rains at bay this week) did his job during the first round of the CIMB Classic in Malaysia. The first round was played without rain on Thursday although it was extremely warm and humid. So hot that Tiger Woods told the media "I would love to hop in an ice tub right now."

Chad Reynolds, Nick Watney's caddie, was unable to finish the final two holes due to issues with the heat. When Reynolds was taken to a local hospital and given IVs, Watney's wife, Amber, stepped up to the call and carried the bag the rest of the way.

"I have a whole new outlook and respect for what caddies go through," Amber said. "It was fun, but not sure I'll be doing it again anytime soon. I feel terrible for Chad. It's never happened to him before and I know he wants to be out here."

Reynolds took the day off to recover on Friday. Watney got off to a good start with four birdies in his first eight holes and made the turn at 4 under on the day after a bogey on the ninth.

The Bomoh held the rain at bay for the competition. However, shortly after play ended the clear skies gave way to rain clouds and heavy thunderstorms rolled through The MINES Resort & Golf Club. An estimated three inches of rain drenched the course following the first round, forcing the rules staff to play Round 2 under preferred lies. As usual here in Kuala Lumpur, rains are again expected this afternoon. We'll see if the Bomoh can hold them off until play ends.

By Bill Cooney, PGATOUR.COM ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. -- Arjun Atwal knows about his precarious position on the money list. On Friday at The McGladrey Classic, Atwal did something about it. Atwal, currently 175th in money, carded a 7-under 63 in the second round at Sea Island Golf Club to take a one-shot lead at 10-under 130 over tournament host Davis Love III (66) and Jim Furyk (65). "Yeah, I'm in a desperate situation," Atwal said. "I got no choice to either win or finish in the top two, I think my caddie figured out. So I've just got to grind it out." Atwal had eight birdies and one bogey, hitting 14 greens in regulation. He needed only 25 putts -- which included birdies from 17, 13 and 20 feet. And, yes, he would likely need a top-five finish or higher to crack the top 125 on the money list to be exempt for 2013. "Oh, it feels great. I don't even know how many (putts) I made," said Atwal, who recently moved his hands higher in order to get over the golf ball better at address. Love knocked his tee shot on the 192-yard 17th to 4 feet and converted for a birdie, setting off a round of cheers from the nearby "Dawg House" grandstands at Sea Island (A party palace of sorts for University of Georgia Bulldogs fans). Love is using a new putter this week, which is believed to be an old belly putter that fellow pro Brian Bateman used to play with. Love, however, does not anchor the putter to his stomach when he putts. "I've been messing around with this putter for well over a year," Love said. "I just haven't had the nerve to put it in play." Meanwhile, Furyk is bouncing back yet again in his first tournament since the U.S. lost the Ryder Cup. He's already had seven top 10s in 2012, but badly wants a victory -- he hasn't won since 2010 -- after a year full of close calls. "I have a lot of confidence in my ball striking right now, but you know, when you don't play a lot, sometimes it's the course management, making the good decisions," Furyk said. "And so far that's all kind of coming back to me slowly and I've kind of gained momentum as the last two rounds have gone on." First-round co-leader and Jacksonville native Bud Cauley carded a 70 and was tied for fourth place, two shots back at 8 under with David Toms (67) and Gavin Coles (65). Cauley tied the course record and set a personal best on the PGA TOUR with a 62 on Thursday. In Round 2, his iron game wasn't as sharp. "Just kind of didn't have it today," Cauley said. "I would have loved to have shot under par, but even is not too bad. So I'm going to go on the range and work on it and hopefully play better on the weekend."

By Bill Cooney, PGATOUR.COM ST SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. -- Fanny Sunesson was the most successful female caddie in the history of golf. Henrik Stenson appreciated the opportunity to work with her but wished her career didn’t have to end in such a strange way. Sunesson, who recently told Swedish golf website golf.se, that she is retiring, injured her back last September while caddying for Stenson at a tournament in Switzerland. A marshal lifted a rope that accidentally tripped Sunesson, who fell and injured herself. “When I spoke to her back in 2006, she was semi-retired back then and then she came out and did five full seasons with me,” Stenson said Friday from The McGladrey Classic. “If she wasn’t ready for retirement before then, she definitely was after five years with me.” “She’s a terrific girl and a terrific caddie,” Stenson added. “It’s a shame it kind of had to end like that.” Sunesson famously caddied for Nick Faldo and won four major championships with him in the 1990s. She also caddied for Sergio Garcia and Fred Funk before taking over for Stenson. Together the two won the 2007 Accenture Match Play Championship and THE PLAYERS Championship in 2009. Stenson said Sunesson is doing well, but isn't healthy enough to continue caddying. While he didn’t completely close the door on the possibility that Sunesson would caddie one last time, he was elated to have the opportunity to work with her. “She obviously gave me a lot of comfort being as hard working and dedicated and loyal as she is,” Stenson said. “It’s a great comfort to have her on the bag. If she didn’t have the information I needed when I was out there no one else had it, either.” According to the Swedish golf website, Sunesson will focus on her role as a golf coach and advisor. She was Martin Kaymer’s mental coach when he became the world’s No. 1 player in 2011. Faldo won the 1990 British Open with Sunesson. On Friday, Faldo tweeted: "#FannySunesson--as we strode down 14th fairway Open 1990, 2 ahead to break tension Fanny asks "Are you thinking of getting a dog?"" The ability to keep her players relaxed is one of the reasons Sunesson was so successful. She was asked if she had any regrets. “Yes, to win the U.S. Open and the U.S. PGA,” Sunesson told the website. “It would have been fun to take all the majors. Since it is a bit sad that I could not finish properly with (Henrik). He deserves all the success he can get. I think he will win a major, and it would have been fun to be there when he does.” Stenson is in the top 20 at Sea Island after rounds of 67-68. “We won some nice tournaments together, obviously (THE PLAYERS),” Stenson said. “She didn’t win that with Nick so at least I contributed something nice for her CV. Kind of hard to match four majors.”
