All times eastern.

Kenny Perry, Chad Campbell, Troy Matteson
Tee time: 1:15 p.m.
Tee: No. 1
Total TOUR wins: 17
Why you should watch: Perry, Campbell and Matteson played together in the first round and carded matching 67s, which places them only four shots back. The round was Perry's 13th straight in the 60s, and it could have been a lot lower had he gotten some putts to fall. As usual, Perry drove it straight and hit most of the greens, so if his putter gets hot, you'll see him near the top of the leaderboard heading into the weekend.

Brenden Pappas, Mark Brooks, Bob Tway
Tee time: 1:05 p.m.
Tee: No. 10
Total TOUR wins: 15
Why you should watch: Pappas finds himself playing with a couple of former major winners in Friday. Pappas is a big South African who hits it a long way, but its not a surprise that he dropped a 64 in the first round. Pappas has always been a streaky player. He opened with rounds of 69-65-65 before fading with a final-round 76 a couple of weeks ago in the Travelers Championship.

Robert Garrigus, Deane Pappas, Paul Stankowski
Tee time: 12:45 p.m.
Tee: No. 1
Total TOUR wins: 2
Why you should watch: Garrigus, one of the longest hitters on TOUR, is finally starting to break through after a terrible start to his 2008 season. He dropped a bogey-free 65 on the field in the first round -- it was just the fourth time all year he'd opened with a sub-70 round. Pappas -- brother of Brenden -- is making just his second PGA TOUR start of the year. He missed the cut last week at the John Deere Classic despite twin rounds of 70. His opening round on Thursday was brilliant -- he fired a 64 that was capped by a difficult up-and-down from the final hole.
