British Open, Day 2: Big 5 all now in red numbers
The weather at St. Andrews was nice yesterday, so some very low scores were posted. The R&A, I’m sure, is hoping for some nasty winds today. Forecast is for 10-15 mph winds. I will be off to St. Andrews today, so the posts from me will be suspended until tonight. You can find the Official Real Time Open Leaderboard here.
Today, Vijay, Ernie, and Phil all have made upward movements, capitalizing on the favorable morning times. And, lo and behold, there’s been a Shark spotting, with Greg Norman getting to -1. As of 10:33 am UK time, the Day 2 leaderboard looks like this (with the Big Five in bold):
-6 Tiger
-4 Retief, Vijay, Fred Couples, Jose Maria Olazabal, Luke Donald, Peter Lonard, Eric Ramsay (A), Scott Verplank, Tino Schuster, Chris Riley, Trevor Immelman
