Ryan Palmer with the lead at -8.

Haven't watched at ALL. In SC for the game. Not playing golf this weekend. But I WILL FOR SURE be back to Charleston for golf. Holy crap I love this place.

Okay, back to Deutshe Bank talk!

Gig 'em Ryan! Been playing well this year, would love to see him win a big event like this.

He's ability to drive the ball really well is pretty underrated in my opinion. I followed him for a while at the Byron when he was paired with John Daly and although John isn't the longest anymore compared to Rory and D. Johnson, Ryan was still putting hit past Daly's by 10-15 yards every drive. He made a lot of clutch par saves as well. Gig Em Ryan!

Palmer is a very long driver of the ball. When his putter is on its deadly.

Not a good start for Palmer. Had 170+ yards for his 2nd on a par 5 and hit it short into the water. Will be chipping for his par after his 4th came up short.

McIlroy is making a run and at -7 now.

Can someone buy Chesson Hadley a burger? That is one skinny dude.

Patrick Reed has 4 doubles for his round today so far

Top 5 player in the world for sure.

An 82 for Reed today

Palmer bogeyed two easy par 5s in the same fashion. Mis-hit the 2nd shots and had to take penalty strokes.

Disappointing for Palmer. Those two shots cost him 4 strokes. He would be tied for the lead.

Ogilvy and Kirk are channeling the bishop's round in the thunderstorm.
