Simon Dyson back on the track after the second day
One of the biggest tournaments in golf is in full swing. The day 2 of the 141st British Championship Open has finished. The venue for this auspicious event is the Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Course. The four-day event teed off on the 19th
of July and ends on the 22nd of July.
The biggest names in the world of golf have gathered on this stage to compete for one of the most prestigious and the oldest trophy in golf, the Claret Jug. At the event the fans are getting their money’s worth as many of the players have given an outstanding
performance.
One player who has been able to perform very well is the English professional golfer, Simon Dyson. He had a good start to his first day as he scored a birdie on the third hole only. He scored a double bogey on the eighth which made his score one-over par
on the front nine.
His back nine was almost the same as his front nine. He was able to manage only one birdie on the sixteenth and two bogeys on the twelfth and seventeenth hole.
After the first day, Dyson’s score was two-over par. He completed the 70 par stroke in 72 shots. Dyson did much better on the second day.
On the front nine, he was able to card a bogey on the third and two birdies on the seventh and ninth hole. His back nine was the best set of nine holes till now, as he carded two birdies on the eleventh and seventeenth hole. These made his score three-under
par for the day and his total score one-under par.
Dyson is happy with his game. In an interview after the second day, he said, “It's always nice to play the weekend at the Open, it's the best tournament in the world”.
“I didn't drive it very good yesterday and had to really scramble. But I managed to get the ball in the positions I wanted to today,” he added.
Dyson finished the second day tied on the fifteenth position with twelve other players. He is nine strokes behind the leader, Brandt Snedeker. Snedeker had a magnificent ten-under par after the two days.
