He had a quick break before the second round was played and added two more birdies and 12 more pars finishing 1-over 73, his only round over par for the tournament.

Daniel Marmorstein opened the tournament with back-to-back rounds of 1-over 73 on Friday, tying Scott for the lowest round on the team in the second round.

Jonathan Chen was the best Penguin to start on Friday as a birdie on his first hole was a sign of things to come as he added one more and 14 pars to finish at even par. Chen stumbled some in the second round finishing with a 5-over 77, but bounced back with the best round of any individual from Dominican as he had back-to-back birdies on holes two and three of his final round before making the turn at 2 under.
