EVENT NOTES:
First-round leaders/co-leaders have gone on to win this tournament 11 times over the previous 15 events. The biggest come-from-behind victory came in 2001 when Raymond/Robert Floyd trailed by four strokes after Day 1 and posted a 61 on Sunday to edge Hale/Steve Irwin by a stroke.
This year marks the first time Stewart/Connor Cink and Nick/Greg Price have played in the PNC Father-Son Challenge. Should the Cinks go on and win tomorrow, it would mark the first time since the inaugural event in 1995 (won by Raymond/Raymond Jr. Floyd) that a team won in their first appearance.
