Thirty-six holes at Atlanta Athletic Club has done little to identify a potential champion, as 13 players are within three shots of the lead held by Jason Dufner (65) and Keegan Bradley (64).
While the top of the leaderboard may lack household names — Jim Furyk (T-3) and Davis Love III (T-14) are the only players in the top 15 who have won a major — it isn't without intrigue.
Start with one of the leaders.
Bradley, the nephew of LPGA Hall of Famer Pat Bradley, is one of the most promising young Americans. The PGA may represent his first start in a major, but don't be fooled: He won earlier this season in Dallas, then contended last week at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational before shooting 41 on his final nine to tie for 15th.
"I'd be lying if I said it wasn't a surprise that I was up here," Bradley, 25, said, "but I work very hard, and this is what I've been looking forward to doing my whole life. So it's as comfortable as I can be."
