Pierce Hunt with a rarity in golf....I believe he was tied for the lead after the first round on the Latin Americas Tour at 8 under par. Then helped by back to back double bogeys shot plus 2 in the second round and actually missed the cut! Tommy Kuhl at -10 made the cut.

If Dylan Meyer got into the field at the KFT Pinnacle Bank Championship this week he was going to stay at my house so I'm kind of bummed about that.

He lost in a playoff last year at the Illinois Open.

Ben Crane, one of the "golf boys" will be staying instead. His caddie is dealing with Freddy in Florida so I'm going to loop for him this afternoon for a practice round. Thankfully it's only 70 degrees out.

A couple of notes from the pro tours:

- Thanks to a strong season, Thomas Detry has qualified for the BMW Championship, which also locks him into all signature events next season. He is currently 40th in Fedex Cup points, so to qualify for the Tour Championship he will have to play well enough this weekend to get inside the Top 30.

- Timmy Crawford has qualified for the first leg of the KFT Finals in Boise, which is a great accomplishment given he only played a few events. He is #144 in KFT points, so he'd have to maintain that to make the next event (Field sizes are 156, 144, 120 and 75, respectively, for the four playoff events). If he can finish strong, he has a shot of making the KFT next year - Top 75 are fully exempt, Top 100 are conditionally exempt. Brian Campbell will be playing in Boise as well - he is already in the PGA Tour next year but has a shot at the #1 spot if he can pull out a win.
