Weir leads for second straight day, up by one over first round leader Watney
Mike Weir continued his stellar play on Saturday at the Mercedes-Benz Championship by shooting a 5-under 68, giving him a one stroke lead over first round leader Nick Watney. Weir, who admitted that he did not practice much during the off-season, fired
a bogey free round on Saturday, extending his streak without one to 27 holes. "I didn’t get a chance to do a whole lot of work in the off-season," said Weir after his round. "I think maybe coming in with not too high expectations, I just came out here to work on my game a little bit, and things have been clicking probably a little better than I expected. It’s feeling pretty good right now." Weir will tee off in the final group with Nick Watney at 5:50 ET.
