Major champions struggle but Singh shines

While the storms helped soften the greens on Thursday, players have been battling gusting winds across both opening rounds and a number of high-profile players will be going home on Friday evening but Fijian Vijay Singh shines amidst the situation.

The Open champion Brian Harman dropped 11 shots on the final eight holes of his first round early yesterday and although he responded with a level-par 72 in round two, his nine-over total will be too high.

He was joined on that number by 2015 Masters winner Jordan Spieth, who imploded at the 15th in round one, making a quadruple-bogey nine, and posted a 73 in round two.

However, Vijay Singh, who won his Green Jacket in 2000, is in line to make the cut at the age of 61.

The popular Fijian bogeyed the 18th to finish one over for round two and four over for the championship.
