Four more Transatlantic invaders, Open champion Tom Watson , and Mark Calcavecchia , who his title at Troon eight years ago, Jay Haas , and Davis Love III are on one under par, while Greg Norman is still not completely out of the hunt despite his 73 for level par 142. However home hope Montgomerie has conceded the title is beyond him after hitting only four fairways, and taking a double bogey at the short 17th to be home in 38. I cannot play when I am missing so many fairways. I am not under any pressure. I had known I would have only 23 putts , I would have expected to break the course record, not shoot 69.
Golf comes and goes.
Tiger Woods was as confident as me when he started the week, yet he is one behind me. I wish him all the best. He has more talent in his little left finger than most European Tour players, and hopefully now he can show it. Three Swedish golfers holed in one during the first two rounds. However all three failed to make the cut, as did Indian Gaurav Ghei, and Singapore's Mardam Mamat, leaving American John Kernohan as the sole representative of Asia's Omega Tour.
