Australia’s two survivors of the cut in the British Open had contrasting fortunes on the treacherous Old Course at Royal Troon.
Adam Scott took full advantage of relatively benign conditions on the Ayrshire coast for early starters to resurrect a title challenge he thought was long gone.Scott started at five over par, 12 shots behind overnight leader Shane Lowry, but birdied the first two holes as he set the tone for a four-under 32 to surge 41 places by the turn.
Scott’s fellow Australian, former world No.1 Day, was one under when he started five hours later, but within two holes he was already over par having bogeyed both.It did not get much better and after a dispiriting round in miserable conditions he ended four over after shooting 76. “I think I got what I deserved out there,” said Scott. “I played some fairly good golf and didn’t make too many errors.”
