Be nice to see Tiger just put 4 steady rounds together, still looks a bit wild with the driver. I am fairly certain he once only used irons in a round/tournament, no woods or drivers.
Nothing great will ever be achieved without great men, and men are great only if they are determined to be so. For glory gives herself only to those who have always dreamed of her.

Just cannot see him putting together four rounds under 70, which is probably what is needed if the weather stays good.
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

Difficult to predict with weather conditions uncertain but I think you can write off Dubuisson, Woods & Lowry while I can also write off Dubuisson, Lowry plus Lee.
Could favour today's early starters. Hoping for big things from Willett & Fleetwood today.

They have forecast wind and showers the rest of the weekend, those who made a mess yesterday can forget about this years tournament.

Fleetwoods just double bogeyed the first hole. Such a tough day today, anything could happen!

Willett & Z Johnson now both -7.

At the end of Day Two (although not the end of second round)
Danny Willett -9 2nd Jordan Speith -5 Tied 15th Louis Oosterhuizen -7 Tied 5th Tommy Fleetwood +1 Tied 84th Ernie Els Par Tied 62nd Shane Lowry +1 Tied 84th Danny Lee +3 Tied 110th Victor Dubuisson +1 Tied 84th Still have three in contention.

I have just four player through to the final two rounds but three of them are in contention so I still have great hope of a profit for the week.
Danny Willett -9 2nd Louis Oosterhuizen -7 Tied 4th Jordan Speith -5 Tied 14th Ernie Els Par Tied 61st ........................................... Tommy Fleetwood +1 Shane Lowry +1 Victor Dubuisson +1 Danny Lee +3 Disappointed to see Fleetwood, Lowry & Dubuisson all miss the cut by a single shot. Els is too far behind to win it but might just hang in there to pick up a place particularly in windy conditions. Willett has done well so far. It will be tough for him but if he can hang on to Dustin's shirt tails, he could get a place here. Oosterhuizen has played well and looks ideally placed to contend over the next two days. Speith hasn't quite hit his best form yet and while I rate him the best player in the world, I am not sure that he can give Dustin five shots start & beat him over two rounds. No-one has come back from more than two shots back in an Open at St Andrews to win, apart from Jack Nicholas, so it is probably between Dustin, Willett & Lawrie with Oosterhuizen, Day, Streb, Scott, Zach & Warren as outsiders. You can still get four places so there might be some value in the each way market by backing a player to come out of the pack. Maybe the most likely options are Warren (35/1), Matsuyama (28/1), Donald (40/1), Schwartzel (75/1), Fowler (100/1), Pepperill (750/1) & Scott (17/2). Dustin Johnson has been outstanding and it is his to lose now. He has been consistent for some time and there appears to be no hangover from his narrow loss at the US Open. He still has a few questions to answer if it comes down to a close finish but my gut feeling is that he will extend his lead today and go on to win comfortably. I am kicking myself for not sticking with him here.
