Day 2 of the Wyndham Championship belonged to Si Woo Kim, who jumped up 40 spots to take the lead into the weekend after shooting a 60 on Friday to bring his 36-hole score to 12 under par. Kim had a solid Thursday, shooting a 68, but he was far off the leaderboard and didn’t look like a factor. All that changed 24 hours later with a brilliant performance that included six birdies on the back nine. Lucas Glover did not want to stay out of the spotlight, either, finishing the second round with a 61 to move into a tie for second place at 10 under overall. Here’s the...

It’s also the easiest par-70 track on the PGA Tour, so out-of-gas participants won’t be too heavily taxed. Among those participants, Olympians Rickie Fowler, Patrick Reed, Spain’s...

It was a heckuva week in Rio from the men’s golf...
