Plus: Best grip for putting
Good Morning! The Valspar Championship is evenly poised after two rounds but there is a 60% chance of rainfall today - are we heading towards another Monday finish?
And this weekend, join us as we celebrate the individuals who bring the game of golf to life through their passionate coverage and expert analysis - the country’s popular golf reporters.
Fun Fact: Stewart Cink made his 500th PGA Tour career cut at Valspar. The world record is 592 by Jay Haas.
⛳ This day in history: On this date in 1958, Arnold Palmer won the St. Petersburg Open, finishing off rounds of 70-69-72-65—276 to earn top money of $2,000. A few weeks later he would win his first of four Masters.

A number of top stars are projected to miss the cut at Valspar as the underdogs continue to dominate mid-way through the competition.
⛳️ 5-Way Tie At The Top: Kevin Streelman (72), Chandler Phillips (68), Brendon Todd (69), Stewart Cink (67) and Mackenzie Hughes (68) are tied for the top spot after Round 2.
None of the players who share the lead are in the Masters but a win here would take care of that.
🚩 Projected Cut: Jordan Spieth, two-time Valspar winner Sam Burns, Open champion Brian Harman, Tony Finau and Keegan Bradley are all set to miss the cut. For Spieth, it is the first time since 2017 that he will miss the cut in consecutive weeks.
🚨 Cink's Records: Stewart Cink has become the first 36-hole leader/co-leader aged 50+ on the PGA Tour since Phil Mickelson at the 2021 PGA Championship.
This is notably Cink's 500th career start on the PGA Tour.
⏳ Stars In Contention: While most of the big names have either missed the cut or are trailing far behind, a couple of top stars are still in the race to win the title.
Justin Thomas (T-6) and Cameron Young (T-15) are one and two shots behind the leading pack respectively.
🌦️ Round 2 Suspended: The second round was suspended due to darkness at 7:25 pm ET and will resume Saturday at 9 am ET.
Round 3 begins at 7:25 am ET.
