Kevin scoring well consistently, 69,66,69. Pulling for a top 10 finish. Adam shot 33 on the front but slid to 38 coming in for T46.
It is nice to see Streelman in contention for a Top 10 finish again this week. He recovered from the Thursday triple bogey which could have derailed him.
Today’s tee times:
Streelman 13:55
Long 10:40

A Streelman sighting on CBS (for all of 10 secons), making birdie on 13 to get into a 6-way tie for sixth, with a few holes left to play.
Streelman drops out of the Top 10 with a double bogey on 16. He is T16 playing 17.
Bob Green
Unfortunate 72 finish for Kevin and he dropped to T20. Adam Long had a 67 today to finish T20 as well.
So next up is the Memorial and Adam Long and Kevin Streelman are in the field. And the Korn Ferry heads to Raleigh for the annual Rex Hospital event. Ryan Blaum and Max Greyserman are entered.
I will try to keep up with these guys, but right now our ACC baseball champs have got me riveted. Go Duke!
Kevin is playing well, and I mean that in the sense that he's playing well as a golf professional. When he's playing poorly, he would beat the eyes shut of about any mortal man who might drift up to the tee.
I predict that he will be in the winner's circle soon. Guys like him and Tony Finau bear watching, as we say hear in the south.
Thursday tee times at the Memorial Tournament:
Adam Long, 08:08 #1

Play is suspended due to inclement weather. Adam Long is T2 at -5 through 17 holes. This sleeper-picks article has nice things to say about Streelman:

Adam managed to complete his round (67) and is second with many players unfinished. The Rex Hospital event in Raleigh also has weather problems.
Streelman finished the first round at Even par and is T39. He is scheduled to tee off #1 at 11:32 for his second round.
Bob Green
Streelman cards Even par again in Round 2 and is T40. He had bogeys on 6 and 13, an eagle on 7. There were chances for birdies but his putts didn't fall. Projected cut is +1.
Adam Long tees off #10 at 16:53.
Bob Green
Adam Long, near the top of the leaderboard after round one play, gave it all back in the second round. He was four-over after four holes and finished with a +5 77. Nevertheless, Adam makes the cut at even par and will play on the weekend.
Still waiting for tee times for the third round.

Mina Harigae (+2, T-18), Yu Liu (+4, T-36) and Celine Boutier (+4, T-36) made the cut at the US Women's Open in San Francisco. It is being played at the Olympic Club's Lake Course.
Missing the cut were Gina Kim (a), current Duke player, and Brittany Lang -- and perhaps some others I overlooked.
