Summary

The second round is in the books at the Genesis Invitational and our very own Rick Gehman and Greg Ducharme are here to breakdown all the action after 36 holes. Matt Kuchar is leading in Los Angeles, do we expect this frontrunner to stay on top (0:45)? Rory McIlroy is not too far behind, can he overtake Kuchar and take home the top prize on Sunday (3:50)? The tournament host Tiger Woods has faltered since his opening nine on Thursday. What can Cat do to make a weekend charge (7:30)? Phil Mickelson, Justin Thomas and Bubba Watson are slamming trunks today, what went wrong for the guys outside the cutline (21:00)? Finally our guys lookahead to the weekend and who they think can light up the leaderboard (29:10). ————————— 'First Cut' is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Castbox and wherever else you listen to podcasts.

0:27.7	slash setup welcome to the first cut podcast, Genesis Invitational round two instant reaction. What a day out at Riviera and to break it all down with me, I've got none other than Greg Dusharm on the line. Welcome in, Greg.
0:55.0	Oh, man. We've had some great action so far out now. You were out there, I understand.
0:59.5	I was. How's the action out there? Oh, my God. That place is, it's beautiful. There's so many
1:03.8	great sight lines and every direction I turned my head. There was like a top 10 ranked player in the

1:50.5	He's just going to keep his head down and keep plugging away.
1:53.4	He's gained significantly, and I know that you love these statistics here,
1:57.3	but he's gained over seven strokes already putting on the field. And when you look at
2:02.2	his breakdown here, putting is definitely his key. But what I love about Matt Coocher through these
