Second-round notebook – AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am
* Charley Hoffman finished his day with a birdie on his 17th hole (hole No. 8) and eagled the par 5 ninth hole to finish his round at 8-under-par for the tournament, four strokes off the lead and tied for third. Hoffman is looking for his third consecutive top-10 finish of the season, matching his total from last season. In 331 previous starts on the PGA TOUR, Hoffman has never had three consecutive top-10 finishes.* This is the seventh time that Goosen has led or shared the lead through two rounds. The last time was the 2005 TOUR Championship presented by Coca-Cola. Of the six previous events, he has one victory.
