Mike Weir birdies #6, and he's at -1 with two strokes gained today.
 
John Senden also with a nice recovery. He started even, bogeyed 1 & 4, and has since birdied 5, 7 & 8 to get to -1.

Steven Bowditch was +3 following a bogey at #2, but birdies at 5, 8 and 9 have him even at the turn.

Nice chip by Bubba at 15 on a line that was fraught with all sorts of risk. He's got about 4 feet left.

Huge birdie for Jason Day on 16 gets him to +3.
 
Meanwhile, Bubba finishes his birdie and gets to -7. Wow.

After getting back to even with a birdie on #5, Stewart Cink has bogeyed both 9 and 10 to drop to +2.

That loud cursing you all heard was from inside the ESPN production truck, where everyone's pissed that Bubba will be off the course by the time they go to air.

Put some cash on Bubba when he was 20-1 and some more when he dropped to 8-1. 
 
Apparently he's only 1-8 in winning tourneys with a 36 hole lead.

Sergio is sporting an expression today that makes it look like he's undergoing a colonoscopy without anesthesia.
 
Like Nomar sulking in the Yankee Stadium dugout circa mid-2004.

He's sort of (by his own admission) a mental nutcase on the course. I've always viewed him as a better chaser than a front runner. When he's chasing someone the task is simply go out and beat them, so it's easier to focus. When he's the leader it's not as easy.

Well, let's see how he handles this 27 shot lead he has.

Spieth bogeys #1, back to even.
 
Snedeker's also fallen to even, after bogeys at 1 and now 3.

Bae is having the ultimate roller coaster back nine:
 
Birdie, bogey, bogey, double, bogey, eagle, bogey, birdie as he heads to 18.
 
He's dropped 4 strokes today after starting off even.
 
He finished with bogey to drop to +5. No pars at all on the back nine.

McDowell begins his round with double-bogey to fall to +2.
 
Another bogey at #4 leaves him straddling the cut line as he's +3 through 6.

Here comes Weir. Finishes the back 9 with a pair of birdies and makes the turn at -3. He's -4 on his round.

Schwartzel began with bogeys at 1 & 2, dropping to +3. But he just got one back with a birdie at #3.

Stadler flubs his 3rd shot at 13 from the bunker, and the mics catch his reaction. "Shit. Tried to get cute."

John Senden just birdied #11 to get to -2. 
 
Yes, I said "Birdie" and "#11" in the same sentence.

Great shot by Bubba on #18 from well left of the green, using the slope to settle it back down towards the hole. Makeable putt for par left.
