Wi takes lead, Johnson stays at the second position
Dustin Johnson is on the second position after the completion of the second round of AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am in California.
Johnson, a 27-year-old American professional golf player, scored 72 and finished equal to par. His four birdies were equalised by four unimpressive bogeys, leaving him unable to score under par.
However, almost after 20 months, he delivered his best performance in the first round. He was planning to shoot an eagle at Pebble Beach since May 2010.
He successfully achieved his plans this year, on the 3rd hole, where he made an impressive 41-yard eagle. Similarly, he was able to score another eagle on the 6th hole, making a 9-under par and 63.
“I thought it was going in," Johnson said. "I was laughing. I made plenty of putts today”.
Due to his amazing performance, he shared a tie with other two professionals, Charlie Wi and Danny Lee for the top position.
The round one performance helped the American continue the tournament while recording high scores on the leaderboard.
On Friday, round two was played and Johnson was able to compete against others successfully. He was at par, but still secured the second position because of -9, his first round scores.
Johnson is three strokes behind the leader Wi. After the tough competition, Wi took a lead with five birdies and an eagle. His four bogeys did not cause him much harm.
At the end of the second round, Charlie Wi was the leader. The three-way tie ended here.
Still, Danny Lee is tied with four other professionals on the third position. He is one stroke behind Johnson and four strokes behind Wi.
On the other hand, Tiger Woods, an American professional, is not in the top 10 list. The golfer, who was regarded as the hottest at Pebble Beach, is currently tied for the 17th position after two rounds.
He is still desperately seeking to score an eagle but only managed to deliver birdies. He was 4-under par and 68 in the round one.
He was unable to improve further and only added -2, carding a 6-under par and 136 in two rounds.
"I don't know if it's a good sign or a bad sign," Woods said about his 68. "With the scores the way they are, I thought I could have it lower than I did".
He further commented, "The guys are just tearing this place apart with no wind. I'm not too far away from posting a good number out here".
Tiger knows that he is not performing well. However, he still thinks that he is left with ample chances to deliver better than others.
Hence, the competition is tough and the results are continuously changing. All the players in the field will have to play their best to remain in the game.
