Garcia plopped his second shot into a bunker, but Singh was within 15 feet of the cup and Montgomerie slightly closer. But Singh's putt tailed off before it reached the cup, and Montgomerie's slid just past the lip before Couples rolled his into the center of the cup. His 6-iron landed some 40 feet from the hole, but the ball slowly trickled down the slope of the green before stopping 8 feet from the cup. Couples had the closest birdie opportunity of the other three on the second hole, but his 20-footer just missed. All four players parred the par-3 No. 3, and all but Singh, who hit into heavy brush adjacent to the left bunker by the green.
