Our starting field of 469 runners has been trimmed to 263 as Day 2 dawns. Among those remaining are a smattering of Team UB Pros and online qualifiers, as well as a few other notable full-timers. Defending champion Matt Brady is still in the mix as well, but he'll need to do some good work today to make another deep run. Players from the two separate Day 1 flights are now combined into one field for this moving day.
The clock shows just about 11 minutes until our scheduled start time. We'll be back as soon as the action goes live.
