The El Camaleon Golf Club demands precision and accuracy, bombers don’t necessarily have an advantage.
Don’t tell that to Gary Woodland. Woodland, one of the tour’s power players is setting a furious pace at the OHL Classic. He followed his opening 64 with a 65 on Friday and stands at 13-under par after 36 holes in Mexico.
Former U.S. Open champion Webb Simpson is right behind him at 12-under after a pair of 65s.
Scott Piercy made it three players in double figures under par — he’s in at 11-under after shooting 65-66.
Woodland is looking for his first victory since 2013. Since then he has five runner-up finishes to go along with his two wins.
Defending champion Graeme McDowell made the comeback of the day to make the cut. McDowell stumbled to an opening round 75 but came back with 65 on Friday and made the cut on the number — two-under par.
