Two Steelers In Top 50 At American Century Championship

Three former Pittsburgh Steelers in Mike Vrabel, Patrick Peterson and Jerome Bettis participated in the American Century Championship, a celebrity golf tournament, and after the second round today, both Peterson and Bettis ranked inside the top 50.

Peterson started the day T46 but is currently T35 after shooting an eight today. The American Century Championship uses points-based scoring, which is different than the typical strokes-based scoring that most golf tournaments use. The tournament uses a modified Stableford format, which awards 10 points for an Albatross (getting in the hole in two shots on a Par 5), eight points for a hole-in-one, six points for an eagle, three points for a birdie, one point for a par, 0 points for a bogey, and -2 for a double bogey or worse, although -2 is the worst that you can do.
