The overnight leader, Bubba Watson, had some stiff competition today down in New Orleans at the Zurich Classic.

Josh Teater came out of the gates firing birdie after birdie to eventually chase down and pass Watson; for a while, for the solo lead in round two.

Teater came out and it seemed he could do no wrong early this afternoon. He had five birdies on the front nine to make the turn at 31, five-under par. He didn't let up on the back nine either, birding three of his first five holes on that side.

The back nine for Watson was all but eventful. He played his final nine holes one-under to card a four-under par 68 to go to 10-under for the tournament and regain sole possession of the lead.

He got off to a quick start on his back nine birding two of the first three holes to get his score eight-under on the round and seven-under for the tournament. Wilson did not have anything over par all afternoon.

Dean, who shot an opening-round score of ...
