Through the 9th today, John's posted four birdies -- including back-to-back on 7 and 8. Coupled with a lone bogey at the 5th, he's out in 32. That puts him at -11 for the tournament and T-12 (quite a move from T-29 at the start of play).
With par at the 13th to remain at 12-under, John is now T-11. But things are really tight at the top, and a birdie puts him T-7.
That birdie may be on the way: On the short (361 yards) Par 4 14th, he drove it 313 yards to just in front of the green. And he's wedged it to 6 feet, 8 inches.
Five-under for the round, 13-under for the tournament and now T-6.
Coming up, the 465-yard, Par 4 15th, the 4th-ranked toughest on the course.
P.S. Set those VCRs and Tivos (ABC, 2-4 PM ET), boys and girls. With continued good play and a little luck, there will be some air time for 'ol John this afternoon!

John got some airtime in the first 5 minutes of the broadcast that is now on the air.
John was with us last week at the Rob Noel Golf Academy for a couple of days. He spent all day long for two days on our putting green working on his stroke. All day long for two days putting! How many of us could use that kind of discipline in working on our own games. Looks like that hard work is paying off. After he and Rob tuned up his stroke, he hit maybe a hundred balls and was hitting them great. So he just kept working with the flat stick. Glad to see it all come together.
