Ortiz is really struggling since his hole in one at the Phoenix Open. In the celebration, he was hit in the back with either a water bottle or a beer can, and I wonder if he is having lingering effects. Munoz is playing pretty solid, but he needs to eliminate the one or two holes that seem to sidetrack him every round.

Round Two: Munoz started with a birdie, but is now +1 on his round and overall through 5 holes. Ortiz is +1 on his round through six holes and +5 overall. The current projected cut line is +1. The leaders are at +5 so that could change as there are a lot of players bunch together.

Wow! I didn't hear about that. I always thought golf was a "gentleman's" (and women's) sport? Now fans are throwing beer cans/water bottles at the players? What the hell. I have never liked the covered stands, boisterous fans around the greens.

The 16th hole at the Phoenix Open is known as a sort of animal house on tour.

“A lot of people cheering for you and then you start trying to watch out for your head because I got actually nailed pretty hard on the back with a beer can, and then after that I was just trying to just avoid all the cans I could.”

Doesn't look good for Ortiz as he finished at +2 and the cut line has move to even par. Munoz is right there at E after two rounds. Leaders are at -9.
