Though it’s a legit PGA Tour stop, fall’s Frys.com Open is kind of a weak-sister stepchild to its overwhelmingly popular winter kin, the FBR Open. But that’s not a bad thing – at least for true fans of the sport, for whom the Frys tourney offers up-close-and-personal access to the action, and at a very nice price: $25 per day, $50 for a full-tourney pass. (The latter package, by the way, includes two single-day passes to the FBR.)

Catch round-two action when defending champion Cameron Beckman and what’s left of the opening field of 132 hit the Raptor Course at Grayhawk Golf Club.
