SAN MARTIN – It has become the norm to expect the unexpected at the Frys.com Open. The 2012 edition, too, figures to pack a few more twists, turns and surprises before all is said and done.
In six years as a member of the PGA Tour, John Mallinger has yet to finish on top. After two near flawless days to open the 2012 Frys.com Open, Mallinger might have his best shot yet.
Australian Nick O’Hern had the late shift for Thursday’s first round of the Frys.com Open and carved up the links, firing a 9-under par, 62 to claim the lead at San Martin’s CordeValle Golf Club.
After participating in the 2011 Frys.com Open as an amateur alongside Tiger Woods and Louis Oosthuizen, Patrick Cantlay will return to the October tournament hosted at CordeValle Golf Club this year.
