WHAT TO WATCH IN ROUND 2
• Mayfair trying to avoid q-school: Billy Mayfair was medalist at q-school in 2010, but at 127th on the money list, he'd rather not defend his "title." He shot 68 Thursday but knows he has a lot more work to do. Story

• Tringale gets his shot at Lunde: Cameron Tringale, the only player standing between Bill Lunde and the $1 million Kodak Challenge title, will try to eagle the par-4 17th on Friday. Hey, it's possible. It's been done before. Story
