Kevin Na and Jerry Kelly are the men to catch after two rounds of play at eight under par, but there's a boatload of contenders still in the chase.

As of noon ET, there's a total of 15 golfers separated by just three shots. Na and Kelly don't tee off until 2:40 p.m. It remains to be seen if they will still be the leaders once they take the course.

He's fallen so far behind the leaders, it's probably only realistic for him to try to get under par and to use the rest of the tournament as live practice.

 

Rory McIlroy in Striking Distance



World No. 1 Rory McIlroy isn't among the leaders, but he's close enough to be considered dangerous. After a one-under 71 on Friday, McIlroy is at four under par for the tournament and four shots behind Na and Kelly.
