After six holes at the Houston Open yesterday, Ted Potter looked like he had no chance for redemption as far as making the 36-hole cut by tonight. But Ted persevered, and wound up with a 1-over-par 73, just two strokes away from the early projected cut line of 1 under.

    Ted began with four straight pars, then got himself into deep trouble with a triple bogey seven at the par-4 fifth, followed by a double bogey six at the par-4 sixth. After a par on 7, he birdied 8 and 9 to get back to 3 over. On the back, he parred seven in a row before making birdies at 17 and 18 to complete his 1-over round. 

    Austin Cook and Talor Gooch tied for the 18-hole lead at 8-under 64, with Sepp Straka one stroke behind.

    Both Gators are inside the cut line, Brian Gay with a 3-under 69 (tie for 23rd), and Matt Every with a 2-under 70 (tie for 36th). 

     Seminoles Daniel Berger (77) and Hank Lebioda (74) are outside the line.
