5:38 PM We're finishing up the first round of Alcohol and we'll be into the second round of
Comp. Anderson will give up a tenth in this round due to the .599 under in the first round
against Lane. Murphy comes in with a full index but will take a hit on Monday as Carter went .64
under in round one. Murphy REALLY throws this one away on the tree.
