Woods and Hoge Lead Halfway Thru 2015 Wyndham Championship

We're two rounds through this year's Wyndham Championship and the leaderboard is very interesting to say the least. Tied for the lead is Tiger Woods and Tom Hoge at 11-under. They lead by one against Davis Love III and Chad Campbell. The cut has also been set at 3-under.

Tiger Woods and Tom Hoge are probably two of the most different players on Tour. It's a great contrast really. On one hand you have a multi-major winning golfer, who is believed to be the best golfer in recent times. On the other, you have a relatively new and unheard of golfer looking to make a name for himself. And yet, here they both sit tied for the lead going into the weekend, probably with the same goal in mind; win or at least finish well enough to make it into the PGA Tour Playoffs. Hoge started off strong on Thursday with a 62 and a 67 today. Woods shot a 64 yesterday and a 65 today, but his front nine today was up and down, with two bogeys and three birdies. He made up with a 31 on his back nine though.

Sedgefield play very vulnerable over the first two days. Very low rounds were shot by many on both days, with the low round of the tournament so far being a 61 shot by Brandt Snedeker, which included a three hole birdie streak on 14-16 and no dropped shots. In fact, Hoge's 62 on Thursday was the best debut round in the tournament's history.

Finally, here's how our picks are doing:

1) Martin Kaymer: T11 at 8-under
2) Camilo Villegas: T32 at 5-under
3) Brooks Koepka: T22 at 6-under

Pretty good so far and great going into the weekend. It's worth noting that there's a log jam of players tied at 9-under, about six of them. But given how benign the course has been, being within a few shots of the lead will definitely put you in contention.

Stay tuned for our results post come Sunday,
