If the old golf adage that "golf is much easier and enjoyable from the short grass" is true, then Michael Thompson had a great time during Friday's second round at the Barclay's. Michael hit 13 out of 14 fairways on the difficult Black Course at Bethpage State Park and managed to shoot a three under par 68. He moved up 36 spots on the leaderboard and is now tied for 16th at three under par - just five shots off the lead. For the tournament, Michael is now tied for second in driving accuracy
Michael's third round featured six birdies including one on the second hole where he sank a 39'9" putt. Golf writer Doug Ferguson described the 7:30am scene on Twitter:
Michael Thompson makes 40-foot birdie on 2. No fans around green. One marshal claps. Other 6 marshals busy taking pictures.Tee Times
For the third round, Michael will be paired with Ian Poulter. The duo tees off at 12:25pm ET.
