WHAT TO WATCH IN ROUND 2
• Trevor Immelman: The 2008 Masters Champion has struggled since undergoing surgery on his left wrist last year, but is slowly finding the form that helped him win twice on the PGA TOUR. He's on top after the first round of play at The Old White TPC. Story
• Bubble vision: Of the 31 players within 15 spots of the PGA TOUR Playoffs for the FedExCup cut line, 25 are teeing it up this week at The Greenbrier Classic. Who will be making moves? Bubble Watch
• A man of his word: Tom Watson, a professional emeritus at The Old White TPC, promised Jim Justice, owner of The Greenbrier Resort, that he would play in this week's event. The 61-year-old is skipping the Senior U.S. Open to do just that. Insider
