Ted Potter turned in one of the best rounds of his PGA Tour career yesterday in round 2 of  The American Express - a 9-under-par 63 - over the La Quinta course. Coupled with his opening-round 2-under 70, Ted heads into today's round at 11 under par, tied for sixth place, four strokes behind Rickie Fowler (65-64-129) and Scottie Scheffler (65-64-129). 

    Ted began on the front nine and promptly birdied the first hole. He  gave it back with a bogey on the par-3 third, but birdies on 5-7-9 put him at 3-under 33 on the nine. On the back, he birdied 10, eagled the par-5 11th, then added birdies on 13, 16 and 17 for a 6-under 30. He played the final 14 holes in 9 under. 

    Between Ted and the two leaders are Andrew Landry at minus 14, Tony Finau (69-62) at minus 13 and Bud Cauley at minus 12.  

    Gators: Matt Every, 70-67-137, -7, T-39; Brian Gay, 76-68-144, even, T-134; Billy Horschel, 74-71-145, 1 over, T-142. Seminoles: Hank Lebioda, 65-71-136, -8, T26; Daniel Berger, 69-68-137, -7, T-39. 

    Because of pro-am, cut comes after round 3.
