Wyndham Championship 2012: Day 2 Leaderboard Updates, Highlights and More

Jimmy Walker is leading the 2012 Wyndham Championship after two rounds at Sedgefield in Greensboro, NC, but U.S. Open champion Webb Simpson sits just one stroke back.

Walker, who boasts a 12-under-par 128 through two days, has just three top-10 finishes in 23 PGA Tour events this year, with all of them coming in January and February. The 34-year-old has yet to win a PGA Tour event since his debut on tour in 2005, but he's coming off his best season in 2011, earning four top-10 finishes last year.

Simpson, of course, has been soaring up the world golf rankings since his emergence last year. After being ranked No. 213 in the world at the end of 2010, he is now ranked No. 5 in the world following his victory at the Olympic Club in San Francisco.

Other names in the top 10 include Sergio Garcia and Carl Pettersson, who finished third at the PGA Championship this year.

Here's a look at Day 2 action, complete with the projected cutline and predictions moving forward.

Predictions

Webb Simpson Will Win Wyndham Championship

Webb Simpson did surprisingly miss the cut at the PGA Championship, but I chalk it up to rust. He hadn't played since the U.S. Open after the birth of his second child, and I suspect he needed some time to get back into the swing of things.

Simpson appears to be back in the form that launched him to the U.S. Open championship now, and I expect him to come out on top after the final two rounds.

Simpson is driving the ball well (311.5 yards on average at the Wyndham), he's putting well and his driving accuracy (71.4 percent) and greens in regulation percentage (77.7 percent) is way up.

Sergio Garcia Will Fall

Sergio Garcia has just one top-10 finish in 13 PGA Tour events this year, and we've seen him frustrated time and time again. He's now the No. 29 player in the world, and that major championship continues to allude him.

For a guy who has 17 top-10 finishes in majors in his career (without winning one), you have to believe his mental game has primarily let him down throughout the years.

Garcia missed the cut at the PGA Championship, and he's generally had trouble closing in tournaments this year. I just can't be very confident in the 32-year-old these days.
