Tiger Woods might be saying farewell to St Andrews this afternoon. The 15-times Major champion opened his curtains this morning to dark clouds and drizzle and the outlook on the course isn’t much better. Woods is six shots off the predicted halfway cut-line going into round two and crowds are already gathering in the gloom to see him get going at 9.58am.
Given the slow play on Thursday, should the 46-year-old fail to shoot low, he may well be saying goodbye to his favourite place on the Swilcan Bridge around 3.30pm. At this rate, it’ll be dark by the time Rory McIlroy is done, but he can light the place again after a brilliant first-day 66.
Rory gets going at 2.59pm as he looks to take control of the 150th Championship. Home hero Bob MacIntyre starts at 1.26pm. David Law is first-up of the home team at 9.14am with Paul Lawrie setting off at 11.36am.
