Struck it well, made the putts when I needed to, and here we are.Area favorite Zach Johnson faced a long day Saturday after not even getting onto the course Friday.Play resumed five hours late at noon after nearly 2.4 inches of rain overnight -- on top of the inch Thursday morning that delayed play 3 1/2 hours Thursday morning and afternoon.

The 26-year-old former South Carolina player dominated the Web.com Tour this season, winning in Louisiana, Mexico and Kansas and earning $449,392 in 13 starts.Just knowing that Ive been in contention and been able to hit the shots that I needed to on that level, I mean, theres a lot of really good players out there, and its just as hard to win a golf tournament out there as it is out here, I presume, Bryan said. Just knowing that Ive been there and been able to hit the shots under pressure, I think should help me out moving forward.In his bogey-free second round that began on No. 10, Bryan birdied five of the last seven holes in the on his opening nine, and added birdies on the par-5 second and par-3 seventh.The second round I was able to fire at a lot more flags just because we had ball in hand, Bryan said. The course is not really that long, so got a lot of short and mid-irons into these greens, and the ball is just hitting and stopping, you dont really have to worry about it spinning back too much.Theyre soft enough to where theyre just kind of hitting and reacting, really, really soft. So was able to fire at a few more flags that maybe I wouldnt have normally gone after.Steve Marino was a stroke back after rounds of 66 and 65.Im happy to be done, Marino said. Cant wait to get out of this shirt. Its just so humid out there. ... I played really well today. I played really well yesterday. Finally, feel like Im starting to come around. Its been a struggle all year. Its nice to kind of see things coming together.Tom Gillis shot 64-68 to reach 10 under. Kyle Stanley was 9 under after rounds of 67 and 66.Johnson opened with a 65 on Thursday. The 2012 tournament winner and two-time major champion is from nearby Cedar Rapids, Iowa.Playing partner Steve Stricker had a 70 on Thursday.

Making his PGA Tour debut as a pro, the former Oregon player won a PGA Tour Canada event two weeks ago in Edmonton, Alberta.Jordan Spieth chose not to defend his title because he didnt think it would be appropriate in light of his decision to skip the Rio Olympics. Keith Mitchell Jersey . Just not the game. Kyle Palmieri scored two straight goals in the third period to rally the Anaheim Ducks past the Philadelphia Flyers 3-2 on Tuesday night. Larry Warford Jersey . Shot outdoors against the stunning backdrop of Banff, Alta., the networks 30-minute original production airs tonight at 8pm et/5pm pt on TSN2. The four All-Star teams will play for $100,000 in prize money during TSNs annual skins game, airing live this weekend on TSN from The Fenlands Banff Recreation Centre. http://www.customsaintsjersey.com/custom-tyrone-hughes-jersey-large-1652e.html . In the response filed Wednesday to the complaint by 30-year-old Alexander Bradley, attorneys say the former University of Florida player is invoking his Fifth Amendment right that protects people from incriminating themselves. Jake Kupp Jersey . The next step is a better finish. Bae played bogey-free Friday on another gorgeous day at Riviera for a 5-under 66, giving him a one-shot lead over Aaron Baddeley and Robert Garrigus going into the weekend. Billy Kilmer Jersey . The (11-11-4) Jets are seventh in the Central Division with 26 points. Fifth place Dallas and sixth-seeded Nashville also have 26 points, but the Stars have three games in hand on Winnipeg while Nashville has two. The Pac-12 has one Heisman Trophy favorite in Stanfords Christian McCaffrey, another legitimate contender in Oregons Royce Freeman and maybe the most talented quarterback in the country west of Deshaun Watson in UCLAs Josh Rosen.There is star power out West worth staying up late to watch.Looking past the obvious studs, here are six players who could have a major impact on the conference title race and the Pac-12s chances to reach the College Football Playoff after missing out last season.Ishmael Adams, WR, UCLARosen lived up to the hype in year one, but three of the Bruins top four receivers are gone and little game experience returns. So Adams is moving from cornerback to receiver to bolster that side of the ball and take advantage of his elusiveness and good hands. At 5-foot-8, 180 pounds, Adams is probably a slot receiver who can be used as a playmaker in space.Max Browne, QB, USCIt seems like forever since Browne (2013) signed with the Trojans as one of the most highly touted quarterback prospects in the country. His time appears to have finally arrived and aside from an opening game against Alabama, a first-time starting quarterback could not ask for a much better situation. USC returns 10 offensive starters and ample depth. The job is not officially Brownes yet. Redshirt freshman Sam Darnold is still in the running, according to coach Clay Helton. Unless Darnold is a phenom, the Trojans best bet is the experienced Browne blossoming.Evan Goodman, OT, Arizona StateThe Sun Devils are rebuilding their offensive line with senior Goodman as the lone starter with extensive experience. Goodman came to Tempe as maybe the most highly touted offensive lineman ever signed by the Sun Devils, but its been a slow build up. He finally cracked the starting lineup last year. If he can finish his career by reaching that four-star ceiling, it would help stabilize an offense also breaking in a new quarterback.ddddddddddddCanton Kaumatule, DT, OregonThe Ducks defense was bad last season (98th in the nation in yards per play allowed at 6.03) with one of the best defensive players in the country: defensive lineman DeForest Buckner. DeFo is gone. Oregon is hoping some scheme tweaks (from 3-4 to 4-3) by new defensive coordinator Brady Hoke provide at least a partial fix. A near-total rebuild in the front seven would go a lot smoother if the 6-7, 295-pound Kaumatule, a four-star recruit who didnt contribute much as a freshman last year, can lock down a defensive tackle spot.John Ross III, WR, WashingtonRoss missed last season with a right knee injury, taking one of the fastest players in the Pac-12 away from a team that showed plenty of reasons for optimism in 2015. What sophomore quarterback Jake Browning and the Huskies could really use in 2016 to take another step forward is a game-breaker on the outside -- which is exactly what Ross could be.Solomon Thomas, DE, StanfordThe Cardinal line was inexperienced and starkly thin last season, relying heavily three players. Two of those players are gone. The other is Thomas, who flashed star potential as a freshman. Stanford is hoping for relatively inexperienced players to develop around Thomas, but an All-America-type season from the sophomore would help alleviate some of the issues.Extra point:Six more pivotal players: Cody Ippolito, LB, Arizona; Gabe Marks, WR, Washington State; Hunter Dimick, DE, Utah; Seth Collins, WR, Oregon State; Khalfani Muhammad, RB, California; Chidobe Awuzie, CB, Colorado.---Follow Ralph D.
