The Open - Royal Troon

Some Saffer chap has jumped 69 places after a few holes :smile:

Why is the scoring so low? Lack of wind?
The bastards Sky only had it on SkyOne yesterday.

The lads that went out late yesterday and early today got very lucky. Will be carnage in the afternoon.

A 69 for the Stoke Kennedy Crowley representative to move to -10 at the halfway mark. Currently holds a two shot lead over Henrik Stenson.

Has Stenson ever won a major, pal?

No. He was runner up to Phil at Muirfield in 2013 and I think he might have finished a distant 3rd or 4th when Harrington won at Birkdale in 2008. Not sure whether he’s ever got in the shake up in the other three majors as I don’t pay much attention to golf outside of the Open, the Ryder Cup and the Olympic Games.

Took 25s about Ricky.

Lies.

What?

Golf is an oul wans game

Bubba birdies the last to make the cut at +4.

Shocking conditions for those out this afternoon, the leaderboard is packed with players who got lucky with their draws. Tomorrow should even things up for those who followed @faldo’s picks.

Bull

Who’s the porker in the beard playing with Garcia, pal?

It’s Shane Lowry’s twin brother Andrew Johnston.

How is my man Phil doing today?

Good. He’s wearing a GeoffreyBoycott t shirt

This is sensational stuff, Stenson is -3 through 6 but Phil is -4 through 6. Both tied on -15. JB Holmes and Andrew Johnston joint third, eight shots back on -7.

Best score in the clubhouse is -3 as well, Micklesons experience will see him through.

Phil has been quite wayward off the tee but as ever its his incredible short game digging him out of trouble again and again. Stenson is a very tidy player.
