Through the 9th today, John's posted four birdies -- including back-to-back on 7 and 8. Coupled with a lone bogey at the 5th, he's out in 32. That puts him at -11 for the tournament and T-12 (quite a move from T-29 at the start of play).
With par at the 13th to remain at 12-under, John is now T-11. But things are really tight at the top, and a birdie puts him T-7.
That birdie may be on the way: On the short (361 yards) Par 4 14th, he drove it 313 yards to just in front of the green. And he's wedged it to 6 feet, 8 inches.
Five-under for the round, 13-under for the tournament and now T-6.
Coming up, the 465-yard, Par 4 15th, the 4th-ranked toughest on the course.
P.S. Set those VCRs and Tivos (ABC, 2-4 PM ET), boys and girls. With continued good play and a little luck, there will be some air time for 'ol John this afternoon!
