TY DROPS BACK. After opening with two birdies today, Tryon could only manage a 1-under par 71 to fall twenty-eight spots into a tie for 61st at the half-way point of the tournament. With three rounds remaining, Tryon will have some catching-up to do, as he's currently 3 shots short of the top 35 finish that would earn him a tour card for next year. “I played really well, just didn’t put the ball in the hole,” said Tryon. “I had so many chances, just kind of didn’t execute.” Also, the NY Times' Clifton Brown has an article about Tryon today: Teenager Learning His A B C's at Q-School.
