"Gay birdied five of his first eight holes and got as low as 12 under when he birdied the par-4 12th and 15th. But he bogeyed his final two holes and fell back to 10-under 130 through 36 holes.
It's the third time Gay has led after 36 holes but the 130 total is the best of his career. He needed only 23 putts and has a tournament-best 14 birdies after picking up in the morning where he left off the first round on Thursday. He won at Hilton Head in April by 10 strokes and said he likes to be in the lead.
"I did pretty good being ahead last time, so I was telling myself on the back nine out there to, I was really trying to push and try to make as many birdies as I could but ... probably pulled the wrong club on a couple of holes coming in," Gay said."

I'll say . . . 20-under par, a new Verizon Heritage tournament record, and a 10-shot victory.
Can I teach or what?!

FYI: I was listening to a recap on the radio at work yesterday and they referred to BG as a "machine". Thought you might appreciate that!
Good luck on the weekend Brian (and Yoda)!

Q. Brian, again, who was really helpful maybe in your career as you were kind of going through and trying to make your way on the Tour, anyone really instrumental?
BRIAN GAY: Well, I've had a lot of people help me through the years. Lots of different instructors. I think the biggest turn was three years ago when I made a change and some stuff in my golf swing. And since then I've stuck to the same stuff and I've just played better, more consistent, just kept building on that.
Q. Who was --
BRIAN GAY: Lynn Blake.

4 shots ahead!
WOW!...just keeps getting better!
They keep talking about his putting on Setanta commentary (UK satellite)...clearly that is excellent...but he is not rolling in a load of 50 footers...they are 10-20 footers set up by some clean iron play with great distance control and straight driving...just hit a beautiful gentle cut off the 13th tee now...right forearm always on plane...great student - even better performer now he seems to believe!
