David HORSEY -9
David Horsey has birdied 9/10 of the Par 5 holes to rank 1st for Par 5 Scoring with a 4.20 average (outstanding considering he is an average length driver of the ball for tour standards). The 27 year old English golfer is performing solidly from the tee but his short game has been exceptional. He ranks 3rd for Scrambles, 1st for Sand Saves, 5th for Putts per GIR, 1st for Putts per Round and 1st for 1 Putts per Round (converting 21 single putts over the first 36 holes).

Genworth
Ambassador
Pablo LARRAZÁBAL -8
Genworth Ambassador Pablo Larrazábal hit 16 greens in regulation on route to shooting the lowest round of the day (a 64 which included ten birdies and two bogeys). The 29 year old Spanish golfer is also ranking high for the Genworth Putting Statistics at the half way stage, which seems to be the key ingredient for good scoring this week. If he can improve just a little on the Par 4 holes over the weekend he is likely to be in the hunt come Sunday.
