Playing steadily Mike Weir added -3 69 to his opening 70 and at -5 he is T22, six shots out of the lead held by Brett Quigley 69,64 -11.
Weir had 5 birdies, 3 of them on his back nine 34, and 2 bogey's, hitting 8/14 fairways and 13/18 GIR. He has made par 25/36 holes, birdied 8 and only made bogey on 3.
David Morland III is T69 73 73 +2
Quigley who shot 64 played bogey-free at Warwick Hills while Carlos Franco from Paraguay also had a 64 to sit a shot behind along with Jim Furyk (66) who along with Weirsy is making debut on the senior circuit. Tommy Armour III with 68 joins them.
I like Furyk's chances today because he won the Buick Open in 2003 and twice was a runner-up. He's played 60 rounds at Warwick Hills and been par or better all but one of them. He keeps the ball in play, letting his scoring clubs and putter do the damage.
So far it's been a good steady debut for Mike Weir considering how excited he is to become a regular again. He looks comfortable, his short game is sharp, he's still fit, as Jack Nicklaus said is" one of the new flatbellies on tour"
