 Chad Campbell One bright spot was that former UNLV player and journeyman Andres Gonzales, who got in the event late, made the cut after firing rounds of 68-71. The most inspirational story of the the week could be Bill Lunde, who at this time last year was selling sponsorships for this tournament and had given up his golf career. But he was let go when the Las Vegas Founders weren't retained as the host organization, and he spent this year piling up cash on the Butch Harmon Vegas Tour, where he was the player of the year and earned his spot into the FRYS.com Open. He opened with rounds of 69-68 and was in good position for a big check heading into the weekend.  The FRYS.com Open is played at Las Vegas golf courses TPC Summerlin and TPC Canyons, with only Summerlin being played on the weekend.
Alex Cejka, a Las Vegas resident for the last five years, made the cut with rounds of 68-70. Ryan Moore, a former UNLV All-American, also made the cut with rounds of 68-69. The Las Vegas PGA Tour event needs a Vegas champion. Here's hoping Bob May can win on the weekend or Chad Campbell can back up his second-round 63 with two more great rounds to end up in the winner's circle.
