Scene and heard
Kenny Perry still leads the Travelers Championship, still by two shots, but now he leads Ryan Moore. Perry is 2 under for his second round through 15 holes and 11 under for the tournament. Moore is playing his 18th hole and is 5 under for his second round, 9 under for the tournament. Moore has four second-place finishes on the PGA Tour, but is looking for his first win.
Aaron Watkins, playing in only his 10th Tour event, is four shots back at 7 under, along with Paul Goydos and Charles Warren, who have afternoon tee times. Watkins has one top-10 finish in his nine Tour starts, a T-7 at New Orleans.
Weather may be an issue today. Afternoon thunderstorms are in the forecast, and there's been a steady drizzle for much of the morning.
Spent time on the par-3 fifth hole. Saw a few birdies (Moore, Aaron Baddeley), and also saw D.J. Trahan three-putt for bogey, with his 4-foot par attempt go completely around the hole and come right back toward Trahan. He flipped his putter at his bag, kicked it, pulled his driver out, yanked the headcover off, and threw it on the ground. I'm guessing he wasn't pleased.
Also saw a man wearing a torn poncho that's obviously seen better days. As I got closer, I saw a logo on the back for the Canon Sammy Davis Jr. Greater Hartford Open. Not only is that maybe the longest name for a tournament in PGA Tour history, but it existed from 1985-88, making his poncho at least 21 years old.
