Retief Goosen started play on Saturday atop the leader board with a one shot lead over Leonard and Mickelson. Going into Sunday he trails 20 players and is 5 shots off the lead.
That's why they call Saturday 'moving day"..
Sean Foley our pro on the Fairways golf show is smiling quietly today as two of his guys Sean O'Hair 64, 201, T1 and Hunter Mahan, 66, 204, T4 will be part of 23 players who are within 5 shots of the lead as they tee it up today.
Ryan Palmer,63, 201 and O'Hair are tied for the lead
Matt Kuchar 66, 202 is alone in 3rd. Incidentally he won the other PGA event this week , the Turning Stone Championship last year, and couldn't defend because he qualified here.
3 players are T4 at 203. Ernie Els 62, made a great move. He is currently 6th in the world and leads both the money list and the Fed Ex points list. Peter Hanson 68 and Justin Leonard 69 are with him. Leonard has undergone a swing overhaul, and his hard work is paying off this week.
3 more players are at 204, including the aforementioned Hunter Mahan 66, and the red hot Jeff Overton 67, and Bo Van Pelt, 69.
6 more are tied at 205, Mickelson 71 is relying terribly on his short game and he is all over the lot off the tee. The best mover in this group Katsumasa Miyamoto 62, who is ranked 165 in the world, he was 13 shots better than Tiger !!
McIlroy 69, Ogilvy 68, and Cabrera 67 are all in a group at 206.
Oliver Wilson 67, 205, Dustin Johnson 68 205 and Nick Watney 69, 205 are all right in the thick of what will be a great day.
Guys who moved the wrong way besides Goosen include Poulter 77, Tim Clark 75, Weirsy 72, Ross Fisher 74, Luke Donald and Paul Casey 73, and Adam Scott, 72. They of course are remembering the old adage ' you can't win it on Saturday but you sure can lose it "
