Ryan Fox is currently the top dog barking on the leaderboard with a cozy one-shot lead, sitting pretty at 14 under par. But don't let that fool you, the golf course isn't his dog park yet. He's ranked 78th on tour and his recent form is about as solid as a sandcastle at high tide, having placed only 20th at the Memorial Tournament.

Camping under Fox's tail with 13 under par are Kevin Yu, Matt McCarty, and Lee Hodges, clustered together like anxious golf balls at a putt-putt windmill hole. All have had a better run of luck than a slot machine on payday with recent cuts – except Hodges, who managed to coast to an exhilarating 53rd place at the Charles Schwab Challenge.

But here's something to ponder about like a crossword puzzle on a Sunday morning. The king of the pack last year was Robert MacIntyre, shooting 16 under the card. Fox tied for 7th last year, only managing 10 under –so he's got that going for him, which is nice.

Yesterday’s round was a wild carousel with Alex Smalley, Lee Hodges, and Kevin Yu, each shooting 7 under, but there were many a ride-alongs. Notably, Ryan Fox, sitting atop the leaderboard, still managed to be in a gang of six with 6 under for the day.

So, who is the winner going to be? Let's channel the spirit of Nostradamus here: considering Fox's current lead, last year's performance, and his recent round, he's got a reasonable shot at it. But remember kids, this is golf, where it's all as predictable as a weather forecast in an old Farmer's Almanac.
