After two epic weekends of PGA Tour golf, we’re heading into a bit of a grace period now leading up to The Masters in April. The Valspar Championship has a weaker field than we saw at The Players, but it’s a great chance for some lesser known names to build a reputation and hopefully play their way into the Majors this year. And so far it’s about as competitive as you could hope for. Two rounds in, we have 5 players tied for the lead at six under: Kevin Streelman, Chandler Phillips, Stewart Cink, Brendon Todd, and Mackenzie Hughes. Justin Thomas is finally playing some good golf and follows the leaders by just one stroke currently sitting at -5. Looks like we could be in store for a close finish!

This could really spark some interest in Olympic golf!
