The Travelers Championship

The last of the morning groups: Aron Price, Brendon Todd and Patton Kizzire on No. 10 and Chris Stroud, Matt Weibring and Mike Capone on No. 1, have teed off.

Afternoon groups start playing at noon.

Kenny Perry has made the turn at 18, heading to 1 and is still 11-under, leading the way by four shots.

Chris Riley is making a little bit of a move through 11 holes in his second round. Riley is 3-under for the day and 6-under for the tournament. Kenny Perry, about to make the turn at 18 and hit the front nine, is still leading at 11-under. He just birdied 17.

Kevin Streelman and Tim Petrovic are both 3-under so far in round two and both are 5-under overall. 

Vijay Singh is 2-under through seven and is now at 6-under.

Apparently, Kenny Perry is human after all. He just bogeyed No. 14 to fall back to 10-under.

Man, Kenny Perry just can’t do anything wrong. The Travelers Championship first round leader scored another birdie at No. 13 (he started on the back nine) to go to 11-under and increase his lead to four shots over Boo Weekley (who’s currently playing the front nine) and Paul Goydos (who’s tees off at 1:03 p.m.).

Good ole’ boy Boo Weekley just posted a birdie at No. 2 to move to 7-under. It seems the work he’s been doing with golf instructor Paul Piveronas is paying off.

First round leader Kenny Perry, who teed off this morning at 7:42 a.m. from No. 10, wasted no time in getting back to what he did best on Thusday, making birdies. Perry, who shot a 9-under 61 (tying the course record), posted a birdie at the par-3 11th to move to 10-under par.

Vijay Singh, Lucas Glover and Chad Campbell just teed off from No. 10 at 7:53 a.m.

Fairfield’s J.J. Henry, who shot a 4-under 66, tees off at 12:31 p.m. from No. 10 with Corey Pavin and Ricky Barnes.

Brian Gay, Anthony Kim and Sergio Garcia head out at  12:52 p.m. from No. 1 .

Go low or go home, as Neill wrote. The red numbers decorated the leaderboard all day, consistently. (In fact, adding up everyone, including the disqualified Paul Azinger, the 78 afternoon golfers combined for only five more total shots than the 78 morning golfers. Incredible.)

Chris Elsberry’s column is on Sergio Garcia and Anthony Kim, revisiting the Ryder Cup. Also from Elsberry, Boo Weekley got off to a good start but went right back to practice.

Kenny Perry gave it a run but had to settle for a course record and a two-shot lead. Such a shame.

(Rich Elliott’s J.J. Henry story has to be out there somewhere. We’ll link to it when we find it.)

Tournament glance and a bunch of notes.

Meanwhile down in Darien, the Connecticut Amateur has reached its final, where 32nd-seeded Jeff Hatten has survived.

Kenny Perry’s 61, which tied the course record, has him on top of the leaderboard

106 players broke par on what was apparently a perfect day for golf (no wind, soft conditions).

Paul Goydos and Charles Warren are two shots back at 63.
