Follow Matt Hill's Title Run

After a slow start to today's second round dropped Matt Hill into a tie for sixth place, Hill rallied to shoot three-under over the last eight holes.

Oglesby, according to sources, is hoping to command somewhere in the vicinity of $500,000 per season. While money was a factor in Calathes' decision, Oglesby said the financial end was of no concern in his ultimate decision.
