Anthony Kim really likes Congressional. No, he really likes it. If recent history is any indication, Congressional is the only course that Kim looks competent at. Of course, that last statement is inherently unfair- but no less the truth.
After struggling through what has been an absolutely disastrous year for Kim, the 24year old returned to the site of his last victory yesterday with a bang. Kim birdied the last eight holes of his first round and set a course record with an 8-under 62.
You would generally think that setting a course record would put you well in the lead. Especially because Thursday is useully a day where players are still working out the kinks of the course, all while trying to put themselves in a position to make the cut on Friday. Not the case this week. Kim holds only a two shot lead over Tiger Woods, D.A Points, and Bryce Molder.
Other notable “top 10ers” include Jim Furyk, who is tied for sixth after at four under 66, and Boo Weekly. Weekly is tied for ninth after a three under 67.
K.J Choi (+7), WCWP fav John Merrick (+6), and last weekends near hero Paul Goydos(+3)are all in danger of missing the cut.
