With two rounds in the books at the Country Club of Jackson, an amazing amount of eagles and birdies lit up the scoreboard on the Mississippi countryside. From the bogey-free 61 posted by Will Zalatoris to the other 20 other players who shot 6-under par or better, Friday was a scorer's paradise. The average score on the Par 72 course was one of the lowest the PGA Tour has seen in a while at 69.7, which brought the cut-line all the way up to 5-under and sent defending champion Sergio Garcia packing for home. While Garcia missed the cut, all of the other pre-tournament favorites sit within five shots of the leaderboard, including Sam Burns at 10-under and Sungjae Im and Corey Conners at 8-under. With such a tight condensed leaderboard the next two days should be filled with plenty of drama. With the books slow in posting lines for tomorrow's matchups, I will instead focus on two other players I really like heading into the weekend.
