St. Andrews, Scotland (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - After second-round play was stopped
for 66 minutes at the British Open, the wind continued to blow at St. Andrews,
and in the process, sent scores soaring.
With the final group midway through the front nine, there are only five
players under par for the second round.
All five of them are just minus-one. Among that group, Jin Jeong, the reigning
British Amateur champion, and Darren Clarke are the deepest into their rounds
as they have completed 10 holes.
Louis Oosthuizen fired a five-under 67 before the wind really kicked up to
finish two rounds at 12-under-par 132. That gave him a five-stroke cushion
over 1989 champion Mark Calcavecchia, who also shot 67.
For the day, there were just nine rounds in the 60s and U.S. Open champion
Graeme McDowell was the last of them to finish. He completed his round at
about 12:07 p.m. (et) or 5:07 local time.
When McDowell finished, the final group was still 19 minutes from its
scheduled tee time due to the weather delay.
With about one-third of the field still on the course, there already were 10
rounds in the 80s with at least three more players on the their way to
posting a number that high.
Among those going the wrong way on the leaderboard was first-round leader Rory
McIlroy. The 21-year-old, who had never shot a round out of the 60s on the Old
Course, was eight-over through 16 holes of his second round.
