I definitely could have made a couple more six- to eight-foot putts, left a couple out there, but bounced back in a lot of really good ways and kept my round going and happy to put up a 67.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Highlights | Round 2 | ISCO Championship | 2024\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MD2LWUN9B6w?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s probably one of the more demanding tee shots on the golf course,&#8221; he said of the par-4 18th where he made his single bogey, &#8220;kind of you come through a chute off the tee so you&#8217;ve got to put a ball up in the air knowing the wind&#8217;s off to your left and a firm bounce, your ball goes in water to the right.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s a lot going on on that tee shot. I let one get a little left, I pulled it to much, didn&#8217;t cut back. Unfortunately couldn&#8217;t find it, but hit a really nice provisional there to put a wedge in to about five or six feet and make the bogey, which is a really nice save.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s huge knowing that the scores are low, knowing that I needed to go get three, four, five birdies on the back nine to kind of get myself in the position I want to be out in front in the golf tournament. To make bogey the way I did, it almost was a good positive to execute the next drive, hit a perfect wedge and remind myself that I&#8217;m playing good golf and to keep that going through the back nine.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Coody leads the field in Strokes Gained: Putting (5.508) and Strokes Gained: Around the Green (3.028).<\/p>\n<p>Germany&#8217;s Matthis Besard has opened 67-63 in his debut appearance on the Tour and lies in a share of second place at 14-under. His single top-10 in 17 DP World Tour starts came in his most recent start at the 2024 BMW International Open (T6).<\/p>\n<p>American Chez Reavie, bogey-free through 36 holes, is also tied in second place after carding a 62 featuring an eagle at the par-5 8th.<\/p>\n<p>Rico Hoey of the Philippines is also bogey-free through 36 holes and shot a 66 to hold on to a share of the second place.<\/p>\n<p>With rounds of 64-67 this week, American <a href=\"https:\/\/golftoday.co.uk\/john-deere-classic-2024-r1-hayden-springer-shoots-59-in-19th-start\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Hayden Springer<\/span><\/strong><\/a>, who shot 59 in the opening round of last week\u2019s John Deere Classic, is now 48-under in his last 10 rounds and lies in T5 at 13-under.<\/p>\n<p>66 professionals and one amateur made the cut at 8-under 136 from a field of 155 professionals and one amateur.
