Several players are putting together low rounds at CordeValle
today, but are any of them low enough to overtake current leader
Rocco Mediate? Troy Merritt is making the turn at five under for
the day after carding a 31 on the back nine. That puts Merritt at
six under for the week, still well behind Mediate who is currently
15 under par. The low round, though, could help push Merritt inside
the top 125 (currently 126th) of the money list. Also of note, he
birdied the Kodak Challenge hole, No. 17, to move one step closer
to winning the million dollar prize. If it weren't for a pair of
bogeys on the front nine, Chad Campbell might be within striking
distance of Mediate. He's carded six birdies today through 13 holes
to move to eight under for the tournament. John Daly is the other
player at five under for the day so far. He opened with
three-straight birdies to jump start his third round. Currently
seven under for the tournament, though, he is still quite a ways
behind Mediate, with seven holes to play. Follow the third-round
