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.

Golf may not be that easy, but there is something in the water right now. The 21-year-old Kim has yet to win on the PGA Tour, though he nearly won the Barbasol Championship in July before losing to Aaron Baddeley in a playoff. 

Glover also flirted with a 59, needing to birdie the 18th hole to reach the hallowed number. Much like Kim, his tee shot on the final hole went into the rough to the left of the fairway. He did put his next shot onto the green but was left with a 35-foot birdie ...
