A glance at the second round of the British Open
I was lucky enough to get off to that great start but conditions got a little worse on the back nine. The 2014 Open champion at Hoylake built on his strong finish to his opening round on Thursday, when he shot a one-over 71, to fire a 68 that put him safely in the clubhouse at one under par.
