A perfect day for scoring at Cog Hill

a.k.a Rees Jones’ 70th birthday
Early returns from the second round of the 108th Western Open – the fifth edition played as the BMW Championship – show little movement on the leader board, with the exception of Spencer Levin. He’s 3-under on the day through four holes on Cog Hill's Dubsdread course, and has climbed to 1-under for the championship.
That places him seven strokes in arrears of overnight leader Justin Rose, who tees off momentarily (11:37 a.m. CT). There’s no cut, but those pesky playoff point permutations may began to percolate in players’ heads by the end of the day. The weather is docile: 55 degrees with a light east-southeast wind. The course and championship record of 62 may be in jeopardy.
We’ll update as warranted and have a full report at day’s end.
