This guy is going to breakthrough and win multiple times, including a major.

Dude can play and he's getting better.

He’s had monster Thurs/Fri at every event in California. Hopefully he can close one out on the weekend.

Burns extends his lead to 4 as he's -2 after 3 in round 2, -9 for the tournament. Still hot this morning. Throwing darts at the flag.

Hope he can hang on this week. I think just putting together 4 solid rounds would be huge for him even if he doesn't win. And it would be awesome to do it against this field.

You can tell he is getting real close to breaking through.

Finished bogey free -5 on the day, -12 after round 2. Still currently 4 shots in the lead right now, but a lot of play left since Sam was one of the first groups out this morning. If he can keep the hick-ups to a minimum, he's really striking the ball nicely and consistently putting himself in makeable birdie range. Missed several birdie putts close today.

Some big names are blowing up. Riv is showing some bite.

Hope Sam can put together two more complete rounds. Played lights out today.

Four ahead isn't running away with it. Especially on Friday

True it’s not locked up yet. But 5 strokes after two rounds is a lot.

I read somewhere that since 2000 if you have a 4+ stroke lead going into Sunday you have an 80% chance of winning.

Faldo put Sam in his players to watch last week and today was beating his chest about it. He shoots 4 under this weekend he'll be hard to beat. I believe he set the two day scoring record at Riviera. Pretty impressive considering the history of the course.

I think I heard them say he tied it with 3 others. 1 being Woods.

DJ shot a 67 & is @ -7. He's the one that worries me.

I bet Burns at the Farmers, WM and Pebble. Of course, this was the week I pivoted.
