After two rounds of golf at the 2012 Barclays, we have some familiar faces creeping up the leaderboard.

Beyond those who started off strong on Thursday (Sergio Garcia, Tiger Woods, Rickie Fowler, Dustin Johnson), there are also those who surged back on Friday after ho-hum performances in the first round.

Snedeker has been a very good putter this season (fourth on tour, per ESPN) and his driving accuracy and greens in regulation percentage are way up through Friday.

Snedeker finished tied for third at the Barclays last year.

 

2. Matt Kuchar

Total Score: -2

Round 2 Score: -3



Matt Kuchar has not only had eight top-10 finishes and a victory this year, he placed second at the Barclays last year.

The 34-year-old, ranked No. 11 in the world, missed the cut at the PGA Championship, but he placed third at the Masters and ninth at the British Open this year. He also won the Players Championship in May.

Kuchar is decent in greens in regulation percentage and driving accuracy this year and he ranks in the top 20 in putting per hole, via ESPN.
