PLAYA DEL CARMEN, Mexico (AP) -- Nick Price came to the Riviera Maya feeling good about his retooled swing. Having given up on trying to launch the ball higher, he'd already seen immediate results.
Then he arrived Friday for the second round of the Mayakoba Golf Classic. Feeling the stiff wind blowing off the Caribbean Sea, Price wondered whether his new trajectory could handle it.
No problema. Price shot one of the best rounds of the day, a 2-under 68 that moved him to 2-under 138 for the tournament, putting him into a tie for eighth and into the weekend in his first PGA TOUR start since 2006.
"I've got to pull something out of the hat if I'm going to have a chance," Price said. "But to be honest, I'm just happy to be playing here and also to have made the cut. My game the last 2 years has not been good, and my debut on the Champions Tour last year was not good. And just in the last month or so, I've turned my game around. ... I've bottomed out and I'm looking to get back up again. It's nice to be enthusiastic about playing again."
While Price moved into contention, the other World Golf Hall of Famer in the field -- Greg Norman -- packed up and left after a 79.
