Notes: Notables who missed the cut at The Players
It’s all about the marquee names who decided to stick around for the weekend of the 2013 Players Championship, guys like Sergio Garcia and Tiger Woods, Lee Westwood and Adam Scott, Matt Kuchar and Hunter Mahan. But before we give the weekend stage to those who are here, how about a few notes on those who aren’t.
East: Alabama builds convincing lead
Alabama leads by 14 strokes over Tulane after two rounds with a 22-under 554 total in the NCAA East women's college golf regional. “It’s a matter continuing our momentum,” said head coach Mic Potter.
Central: Oklahoma leads on home turf
Oklahoma remained steady in Round 2 of the NCAA Central Regional, a day when many other teams lost ground.
McIlroy-Scott-Stricker trio takes spotlight again
Wedge games certainly aren't a problem for Rory McIlroy, Adam Scott and Steve Stricker during the second round. From there, each has different tweaks to their game plan.
5 Things: Garcia leads Players; Woods improves
The last time Sergio Garcia ended the day as the leader at TPC Sawgrass was after he won a playoff in 2008; second-place Tiger Woods’ 36-hole total is his career best by six shots; more.
Coach ailing, Auburn rallies at East Regional
As Tigers coach Kim Evans went in for more testing, her resilient Auburn players improved 15 strokes on Day 2 of regional action.
Rude: Players leaderboard features biggest names
In most years, the top of the Players leaderboard features little-known names, with Sawgrass eating the game's best alive. Not so in 2013, with the likes of Tiger Woods, Lee Westwood and Sergio Garcia leading the way.
McCabe: Sawgrass still has deceptive teeth
TPC Sawgrass is playing easy? Really? Don't tell Phil Mickelson, Ian Poulter, Justin Rose or Nick Watney that -- they won't be sticking around for the weekend.
Equipment brands tap into social media
David Dusek says equipment makers are fully engaged in the world of social media, sharing and connecting to cultivate legions of brand loyalists.
West: Vandy leads in maiden trip to West Regional
Vanderbilt is getting a new look at NCAA regionals from the West Coast. The Commodores lead top-ranked and top-seeded USC by a shot.
Island green at 17th endures as Players' tough test
Certainly at TPC Sawgrass, the smallest is not necessarily the meekest. The 17th is not the most difficult hole on the golf course, but it’s the main attraction, with its large but intimidating island green.
Central: Florida leads, even without senior Lendl
Florida leads after the first round at the NCAA Central Regional, even without standout senior Isabelle Lendl in the lineup.
Rude: Rare contention at Players for Tiger
Tiger Woods put himself in a position to contend for only the third time in his 15 starts at the PGA Tour's Players Championship, one of the few tournaments that has confounded him.
East: Popson channels positivity, opens with 67
It has been a lackluster final semester for Erica Popson, but the Tennessee senior opened the NCAA East Regional with a 67 for a share of the lead.
5 Things: Johnson lurks, Stallings wavers
Scott Stallings starts his day with five birdies but walks away with just a 71, while Zach Johnson adds to his share of success at TPC Sawgrass with a 66 in his third straight trip to the Players, plus more.
