Looks like another wet and windy start at St Andrews. Typical eh? Brollies and cagoules at the ready, then ...Photograph: Tom Jenkins... oh, and membership cards too. Wouldn't want to forget thatPhotograph: David LeveneThese punters are keen to put a few quid on today's actionPhotograph: David Levene
This guy wouldn't be a bad bet. Louis Oosthuizen, who began his round at 6.41am this morning, carded 65 yesterday to put him second on the leaderboard. He'll be keen to build on that todayPhotograph: Tom JenkinsAngel Cabrera shot one over yesterday and he's carried that poor form through to today, starting with a bogey fivePhotograph: Tom JenkinsLee Westwood recorded five straight birdies yesterday, starting at the fifth. But another birdie at the fifth today proved a false dawn as he parred the following four holes. Here he is at the 13th, getting yet another parPhotograph: Tom JenkinsNot quite the positioning Francesco Molinari was hoping for at the back of the 17th greenPhotograph: Tom JenkinsPlenty to enjoy for the spectatorsPhotograph: David LeveneNot sure why this guy has brought his dog. Presumably the dog likes golf?Photograph: David LeveneA quick dash from one side of the course to the other. Chop chopPhotograph: David LeveneOosthuizen lines up a putt on the 14th green. It's worth the effort as he makes a birdie, just like yesterdayPhotograph: Tom JenkinsRough seas pelt the Scottish coastlinePhotograph: David LeveneOur man David Levene has just popped into the centre of St Andrews to see what's happening down there. Looks like the place is golf crazyPhotograph: David LevenePlayfair terrace. A lovely touchPhotograph: David LeveneLinks Crescent. Even better ... what next?Photograph: David LeveneEh? She's not playing at St Andrews today, surelyPhotograph: David LeveneA bit of patriotism from the Americans in townPhotograph: David LeveneThat's a mighty fine telescope. Probably best to read the instructions before fiddling with itPhotograph: David LeveneBack at the course now and here's a nice view over the 17th from the West Deck of the Old Course HotelPhotograph: Tom JenkinsY.E. Yang of South Korea tees off at the 14thPhotograph: Tom JenkinsCasey, again, on the 15th. Five birdies in his outward nine today were ruined soon after this picture was taken when he made a triple bogey on the 17thPhotograph: Tom JenkinsAlways keep your wits about you this course, even when the pros are playingPhotograph: Tom JenkinsThe caddy for Peter Hanson reaches for the 17th flagPhotograph: Tom JenkinsKatsumasa Miyamoto of Japan marks his orange ball on the 17th green. Apparently the dye used to colour the ball helps it spin more on the greensPhotograph: Tom JenkinsSo much that it's spun right off into a bunch of cardboard boxes, by the look of it. No, only messing. Miyamoto has walloped his 18th tee shot way off course. That's rubbish - literallyPhotograph: David LeveneConditions haven't been easy today and the suspension of play early in the afternoon was inevitable. High winds have been blowing the balls around on the greens. It's like billiards out therePhotograph: Tom JenkinsFortunately the suspension doesn't last and play resumesPhotograph: Tom JenkinsAdam Scott doesn't look too happy with his chip to the 12th greenPhotograph: Tom JenkinsOosthuizen's motoring - he's carded five under today, 12 under in total after 36 holesPhotograph: Tom JenkinsPeter Hanson of Sweden chips to the 16th greenPhotograph: Tom JenkinsA bit of binocular action, here. Could be that someone good is in the distance ...Photograph: Tom JenkinsMaybe he's checking out this guy's binocularsPhotograph: David LeveneTiger Woods, now, walking down the first fairway flanked by Camilo Villegas and Justin RosePhotograph: David LeveneBad start for him - successive bogeys in the opening two holesPhotograph: David LeveneCheer up Tiger. 16 more to goPhotograph: David Levene
