Tim Clark
North Carolina State’s Tim Clark is making his seventh start in the Wyndham Championship, and first since finishing T6 in 2008.
Clark, who made just four starts in 2011 due to an elbow injury and tendonitis, is making his 16th start of the season. He is coming off a T11 at last week’s PGA Championship.

Second-Round Notes
Since making a return to Sedgefield Country Club in 2008, the second-round leader has held on for the win twice. Carl Pettersson achieved the feat in 2008, as did Arjun Atwal in 2010.
So far this year, a second-round leader has parlayed that position into victory just seven times in 35 stroke-play events. The most recent to do so was Scott Piercy at the RBC Canadian Open last month.
Tim Herron (T47)
Herron’s 61 in the second round tied the course record (Arjun Atwal/2010, Kevin Na/2010 and Carl Pettersson/2008) and also tied his personal best score on TOUR (2003 Humana Challenge).
Herron had one bogey (No. 6) and five consecutive birdies (No. 13-17).
Herron was second from last (155th) in the field after a first round 76. Entering this week he was No. 139 in the FedExCup standings and a missed cut this week would have eliminated him from the first Playoff event next week.

David Mathis (T14)
He's done it all in terms of moving in and out of the PGA TOUR Playoffs for the FedExCup in his career at Wyndham. In 2009, he was 1 of 5 players to play their way into the Playoffs at Wyndham. In 2011, he was 1 of 3 players to play their way out of the Playoffs at Wyndham.
Mathis is looking to become the first player to play their way into the Playoffs more than once at the Wyndham Championship.

In 2008 he finished No. 127 in the FedExCup standings and in 2009 he finished No. 126 to just miss the Playoffs. This year, Jones was the second to last alternate to get in the Wyndham Championship field and is No. 182 in the FedExCup standings.

In 2009, five players made it from outside the top-125 in and into The Barclays due to their performance at the Wyndham Championship. There were also five players in 2008 that played their way into The Barclays at the Wyndham Championship and three in 2007.
In 2011, Justin Leonard finished No. 126 in the FedExCup standings to miss the Playoffs for the first time. A bogey on his 72nd hole at the Wyndham Championship dropped him out of the top 125 in the FedExCup standings.
Three players have competed in all four TOUR Championships by Coca-Cola since the inception of the FedExCup in 2007 – Steve Stricker, Phil Mickelson and Hunter Mahan.

Jason Dufner is the only player in this week’s field that can take over the No. 1 spot in the FedExCup standings.
Sedgefield Country Club
The conversion of the greens from creeping bentgrass to Champion bermudagrass was completed earlier this year. In the absence of untimely rains, the greens are expected to exhibit a degree of firmness that has been lacking the previous four years. Several architectural changes have also been made to the course. These include the addition of three bunkers at #5 greens complex: one short left and two back right; an additional bunker directly behind #15 green; the creation of a deeper swale left of #15 green maintained at primary rough height; and finally the repositioning of the cart path left of #5 green deeper into the woods providing additional room in the form of primary rough left of the approach.
In 2011 the cumulative scoring average at the Wyndham Championship was 68.97 after four rounds.
