Scores Tighten as Round 2 of the Waste Management Phoenix Open Begins

As the 2015-2016 season moves into high gear we are beginning to see the world's top golfers converge on the US PGA tournaments.

Rory McIlroy and Rickie Fowler have returned to the US to content in the Waste Management Phoenix Open this week, with world #1 ranked Jordan Spieth resting up for the Farmer's Insurance Open followed closely by the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Jason day should be back to full form later this month. Early in Round 2 at the WMPO.  Japan's Hideki Matsuyama, Ireland's Shane Lowry and Rickie Fowler from the US cling to a one stroke advantage over the likes of William McGirt and Rickie Fowler.  While the WMPO is not a Major nor a WGC event, a win here can surely boolster the confidence of a second or third tier player with hopes of moving up the OWGR and FedEx Cup rankings as well. More on the leaders for the Rio Olympics in another article. For now let's patiently wait to see who captures this week's trophy before getting too carried away with unmerited prognostications for who the victor(s) may be for this un-prescendeted season ... which also includes four majors and the Ryder Cup.
