Ponte Vedra Beach, Apr 04: The chilly temperatures, which were just above freezing for the early starters, and the gusting winds played havoc with many players' scores, but none more dramatically than Australia's Adam Scott, the winner of the Players Championship. Scott had shared sixth place after an opening-round 68, but missed the cut when he carded a seven-over 79 on Friday. His round included seven bogeys and one double bogey. Crane, a four-stroke winner in this event a year ago, shot a 69 but said the playing conditions at the TPC at Sugarloaf were very difficult.
Crane and Johnson started their rounds in the early afternoon, while Olazabal, Tambellini and Scott were among the early starters.
The forecast for Saturday predicts moderating temperatures and wind, with the afternoon temperature reaching the mid-60s Fahrenheit and the winds dropping off.
