Ricky Barnes, who at this time last year was in the lead at Bethpage Black, made up for two bogeys on the first two holes of the day by sinking a chip shot for his second birdie of the day.

With his ball resting on the fringe, just off the lip of the green, on the par-4, 390-yard 11th hole, Barnes delicately tapped the ball and watched as it slowly rolled downhill and found the cup to move on nine-over for the tournament.
