British Open Golf – Second Round
July 18th, 2009 by Doogs
One of these players is 59 years old and leading the British Open after two rounds.
After pretty calm conditions on Thursday, Turnberry toughened up for the second round with the wind picking up and narrowing those fairways significantly
Round Two - Full Scorecard
Tom Watson -5 The elder statesman of the field shares the lead, Tom sunk a couple of massive putts and keeps putting the ball in play. He knows links courses, he knows his way around Turnberry, can he do one better than Norman did last year?
Steve Marino – 5 Never heard of Steve before, he has never played in a British Open, had never played a true links course until last week. But he leads after 2 rounds.
Matt Goggin -2 Highest placed Aussie, only 3 shots of the lead. Go Matt.
John Daley E “Making the cut on a Major is one of the best feelings — focussed on some great scoring into the weekend” http://twitter.com/PGA_JohnDaly
Tiger Woods +5 (Missed Cut) The bookies favourite by far, missed the cut after dropping 7 shots in 6 holes. He even lost a ball on the 10th which is almost unheard of in Professional golf. He rallied with late birdies but missed by 1 shot.
Geoff Ogilvy +13 (Missed cut) Two rounds Im sure Geoff will be keen to forget, nothing really went right for the Aussie. But he wasnt alone in missing the cut, other Aussies to miss out included Adam Scott, Terry Pilkidaris (who went 68,82) and John Senden (who went 66,80).
Ian Poulter +14 (Missed cut) The pink panted pom will be watching the cricket for the rest of the weekend. In Poults own words “Oh well folks just arrived home after 7 hour drive, played horribly for 2 days. i couldnt hit a cows arse with a banjo.” – http://twitter.com/Ianjamespoulter
