Day 2a is Over
The announcement has come across that play has ended for Day 2a. The remaining 350 players will return on Thursday for Day 3.
Tomorrow is Day 2b, where a larger field than today (thanks to the big Day 1c and Day 1d crowds) will come in and play until around 12:04 a.m. PDT. Play will stop at the designated time, and those finishers will join these 350 for Day 3. From then on, the field will be combined. -
