A pair of five under par 67's in the first two rounds of the Sanderson Farms Championship have Michael Thompson tied for 4th as round two is finishing up Saturday morning.  Rain on Friday delayed round two and ultimately only half the field was able to complete their rounds.

Rain has also caused delays Saturday morning.  Once round two is complete, a cut will be made and round 3 tee times will be assigned.  We will post an update on Michael's round 3 tee time when it becomes available.  He won't be able to finish his third round until Sunday morning.

Update: Michael's tee time for round 3 has been set. He's teeing off at 2:50 with Brian Davis and Patrick Rodgers

Michael Thompson put together his best round of the young season shooting a seven under par 74 and he is currently tied for first at the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open.  Michael had a single blemish on his scorecard when he double bogeyed his second hole of the day (hole 11) but from that point forward he was flawless.  His round included seven birdies and one eagle.  He made several long putts and managed to hit 16 out of 18 greens in regulation.

He gets his second round underway at 12:46pm PDT on Friday.

Vegas Baby!

by Roz Roberts III

After a strong opening round in last week's Fry's.com Open, Michael Thompson slowed down a bit and didn't make it through Saturday's second cut and ultimately finished with a MDF (made cut, didn't finish).  He'll look to improve on his results from last week in Las Vegas at the Shriner's Hospitals for Children Open.  The Shriners is played at TPC Sunderlin and plays to a par 71.

Michael is paired with Scott Brown and Ricky Barnes for the first two rounds.  They tee off Thursday morning at 8:01am PDT from the tenth hole.
