2d round starts; 3d round news

Posted by Mike Whitmer, Globe Staff September 25, 2009 01:59 PM

It feels like the middle of summer, with temperatures in the 80s and high humidity. Rain is expected later today, but so far the second round of the Tour Championship has been unaffected. Sean O'Hair and Stewart Cink, playing in the final group today, just teed off, with O'Hair still leading Cink, Tiger Woods, and Padraig Harrington by one stroke.

Heath Slocum, who won The Barclays and would win the $10 million FedEx Cup bonus with a victory here, has the best round of the day going. He's 4 under par through 11 holes, and is now tied for fifth at 1 under. David Toms (1 over) is 3 under for his round, while Phil Mickelson (1 over) is 2 under through 11 holes.

Inclement weather is expected tomorrow, which has forced PGA Tour officials to move up the start times for the third round. Weather permitting, tee times will now begin at 8 a.m., with the last group projected to tee off at 10:20 a.m. and finish by 2:30 p.m.
