IRVING (CBSDFW.COM) -- Prior to Friday's second round at the AT&T Byron Nelson, there had been only one ace on a par 4 in PGA Tour history. That total has now doubled.
Due to standing water on the fairway, the 14th hole at the AT&T Byron Nelson was transformed to play just 104 yards -- and it will remain a par 4.
Due to unplayable fairway due to rain on #14 @attbyronnelson, the par-4 hole will play roughly at 100 yards in R2. Still a par-4. #PGATour

Gary Woodland aced it early in the day.
In Thursday's opening round, the scoring average was 4.284 on 14, as it played 406 yards. Only 12 percent of the field made birdie.
Expect much improved scores on Friday, including a handful of eagles -- and hopefully an ace.
