Tee Times for the second round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill have been posted.
As an “invitational,” the Arnold Palmer has a smaller, more exclusive field of 120 players, but with a traditional 36-hole cut. For the first two rounds, groups of threesomes will go off on the 1st and 10th holes in two time blocks – morning and afternoon.
In the morning, the two premium groups are anchored by Rickie Fowler (+2) and Rory McIlroy (+2), respectively. Fowler goes off first from hole 10, at 8:11 AM, with newly-minted Valspar champ Adam Hadwin (-2), and former U.S. Open winner Graeme McDowell (E).
Rory’s group includes Arnold Palmer’s grandson, Sam Saunders (+2), and Brandt Snedeker (E). They follow the Fowler trio at 8:23 AM.
One of the afternoon marquee groups is the threesome of Hideki Matsuyama (+1), Justin Rose (-1), and Henrik Stenson (+2). This trio tees off at 12:56 PM from the 1st hole.
The other afternoon attraction will be the group which includes defending champ Jason Day (-2), Martin Kaymer (+1) and Bubba Watson (E). They go off right after the Matsuyama pairing, at 1:08 PM on hole 1.
