"The first sign that low scoring was afoot today was provided by Michael Kim. The 32-year-old, born in South Korea but representing the USA, has come out of a mid-career slump that saw him at one point miss 23 cuts in a row. He won the French Open last year, and has reestablished himself as a regular participant in the majors, if not one making any serious waves. He was due to miss the cut yesterday, and was +7 with six holes to play, but birdied 4 and 6 before chipping in for eagle at 9. Then this morning he birdied 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 and 7, a run spoiled by a single bogey at 4. He turned in 30."
Chris Kirk missed a par putt on 18 and then missed a bogey attempt, leaving him with a drained look despite a 65 that felt disappointing. He finished at -2 overall. Kristoffer Reitan also finished at -2 after signing for a slightly less dramatic 65, including two eagles on the back nine. Justin Rose carded five birdies on the front nine and added another at 13, which was offset by a bogey at 14. He made a series of par saves to hold his score and remained one par away from a 65 that could revive his major bid. Michael Kim rebounded from a slump, birdied multiple holes early, and turned in 30 after a late eagle and a run of birdies.
