Brooke off to a hot start. 3 under through 6. She is leading by 2. I believe coverage will be on the Golf Channel this afternoon. They seem to really like her, especially her killer instinct intangibles and ability to hit the clutch shot on the biggest stages.

The Mighty John Deere Classic is another big day for Canadians. MacKenzie Hughes is 7 under through 14 and shot up into the top 10. There are lots of birdies on the back nine so he'll need to keep it up to stick in the top 10.

David Hearn is back to having a good round. His rythem seemed to be affected yesterday with 2 or 3 rain delays out there. He bogeyed the 14th yesterday which was a hole many players had a shot at 2 on the par 4. It was playing 312 yards downhill. That's at least a 2 shot swing. That said, Hearn is currently in a T-4. He's 2 shots out of 2nd. First place is running away with it and may win by 10 the way things are going. There are 15 players tied with Hearn or within 2. He can't drop a stroke or it's going to kill a big payday. Plus because Hearn doesn't have full time status, finishing in the top 10 gets him another PGA start as well.
