Hey there, time traveller!

A second straight 68 has given Californian Ryan Thornberry control of the Players Cup.
The 24-year-old had an up-and-down second round at Pine Ridge today — an eagle, four birdies and three bogeys — but holds a two-shot lead as Day 2 of the $200,000 championship continues.
Thornberry is currently two shots better than Australian Luke Hickmott and defending Players Cup champ Wes Heffernan of Calgary. Hickmott shot even-par 71 this morning while Heffernan carded a second straight 69. First-round leader Rob Oppenheim, who opened with a 67, was still on the course this afternoon.
“The score’s no different today but I’d say I played a bit better yesterday, managed it a bit better,” Thornberry said. “Today was an up-and-down day but I held it together.”
Today’s weather was vastly improved from Thursday’s cool day that had a relentless north wind.
Dauphin’s Ryan Horn, who was in the hunt after a first-day 68, was also on the course this afternoon and remained on the leaderboard.
The cut to the low 60 and ties falls after the end of play today. Saturday’s third round will feature the final twosome at 1 p .m. and the tournament champion on Sunday will receive an invitation to the RBC Canadian Open next week at Glen Abbey.
