Tom Watson and Steve Marino will enter the third day of the British Open with a share of the lead. Watson started the day off with a birdie but then bogeyed the second. He went on to bogey holes 4 through 7 and it was looking like he was going to have a rough day. The 59 year old pro began to change his play and made some of the most remarkable puts of the day. On holes 9 and 11 he hit superb birdie putts. On the 16th and 18th is where he really shined and made putts, on each of those holes, that where around 40 feet. Marino played up and down golf during the first two hours. On the 17th he hit an eagle put that sent the crowd roaring and put him in the lead for the time being. He finished the day 2 under par. Marino and Watson will be the final pairing going into tomorrow. My sleeper Vijay Singh is still lurking around with and even par day. Singh is tied for fourth and is only two strokes back going into the weekend.
Biggest let down day two: Tiger Woods missed the cut and this is only the fifth tournament that he has missed the cut in his thirteen year old career. The number one player in the world played some of the worst golf in his career. Rarely do you see Woods double bogey but he did it today and not only once. He doubled holes 10 and 13 which proved to be too much to come back from.
Biggest surprise day two: Matteo Manassero who is just an amateur who is sixteen years old. Manassero played beside Tom Watson and managed to keep composed and finished the day even par. For the tournament he is one over par and looking to keep up his play.
