The second day of The Open Championship is in the books. Mother Nature and tough pin placements made for some high scores, but Jordan Spieth stayed at the top of the leaderboard.
Yesterday, Spieth shot a 65 and was tied a top of the leaderboard with two other Americans. But today he gained sole possession of the lead as he shot a 69 and is at -6 overall. Spieth had 3 birdies on the day and one eagle. But unlike yesterday, he had 4 bogeys in the crazy weather conditions. Spieth only hit 36% of fairways and 44% of greens in regulation. His average drive dropped to 259 yards as he was much more conservative with the high winds. But Spieth had a great day on the greens with only 25 putts.
Matt Kuchar is in second place at -4. He is only 2 shots behind Spieth and the Americans will be paired up tomorrow. Kuchar had 3 birdies and 4 bogeys on day 2 of The Open. He hit 50% of fairways from the tee box and 61% of greens in regulation. His drive average also dropped today to 279 yards and he had 30 putts. Not a bad day on the links in horrific weather.
There are only 19 players within 6 shots of the lead. But with the unpredictability of the weather, one bad hole can change all of that. The weekend weather outlook is going to be windy with chances of rain so anything is possible.
Rory McIlroy bounced back with a great round today. He had 4 birdies and 2 bogeys and is in striking distance. This could be the perfect chance for Rory to gain back some dominance on the PGA Tour. He has had a rough time in majors lately and it seems like he is back. I look for a big weekend push from Rory.
Did you catch any of today's action? Who do you think will win? We love your feedback so please let us know what you think! Cheers!
