Brian Gay today shot a 3-under par 68 (T-8 ) on a golf course that left Phil Mickelson, #4 in the world, at 76 and Angel Cabrerra, 2007 U.S. Open Champion, at 79.

Brian started on #10 today and promptly bogeyed the 11th. This in a league that will send you packing on Friday for that mistake. So what do you do when you're a money-making PGA TOUR player? Whine? Complain about the bad break? Or suck it up and do what you do?

In the next 16 holes, Brian reeled off twelve pars and four birdies (#13, #14, #1 and #3).

Good answer!

Brian teed off early today -- 8:16 local MST -- and blitzed the course with a second consecutive, four birdie, one bogey, 68 (-3 for the day and -6 for the tournament).

Currently T-4, he's a shoe-in for the weekend, and has a solid shot at the big prize on Sunday.

And once again he's leading the driving accuracy categori. 75%.....field avg. 49%

I want that kind of precision.....now!

GO Brian!!

[Richie3Jack]

Tied for 3rd and only 2 shots off the lead. His driving accuracy dropped...to 73.8%. I wish I could have off days like that.

Watching Brian Gay get a lesson from Yoda shows the yellow book fully in action. Great stuff, that's why we are all here!

I also saw this great stat: Brian did par or less on the last 16 consecutive rounds...

Wich is the current PGA best!!!
Yes: numero uno!

I'm amazed by those stats, they really show that when you put precision and consistency in the machine, you get the same thing out of your scores.

Let's all grab our dowels and get those aligments perfect!

With caddy Kip Henley on the bag, Brian Gay today shot a classy 67 and moved from T-8 to T-3. With four birdies and no bogeys on the card, he's -10 for the tournament and only two off the lead. http://www.pgatour.com/leaderboards/...003/index.html

Unlike many of his PGA TOUR brethren, Brian has proven he is not afraid to 'go low'. Let it happen tomorrow!
