Bounds followed up his round of 8-under-par 64 in the first round with a 1-under-par 71 that featured three birdies and two bogeys. His round consisted of accurate drives and consistent iron play, as he hit 11 of 14 fairways as well as 15 greens.

“I made myself think about my next shot today, which was tough after yesterday, shooting so well,” Bounds said. “I made a 35-foot putt for birdie on No. 4. It was my first for the day and gave me confidence for the round.”

Bounds added that he was very happy with how he has been playing and couldn’t ask to play better through the first 36 holes.
