Scottish Open (Day One)
An amazing day of golf with the wind making conditions close to impossible for the late starters. Scott Hend & Felipe Agular lead on -3 by one shot from eight players on -2. Unfortunately four of our players got the worst of the weather, leaving Lowry, Lingmerth & Olesen already just about out of it. Credit to Lorenzo Vera, who is only five shots off the lead despite playing in the worst weather. Notables include: Harrington -2, Sullivan -2, McDowell -2, Danny Lee -1, Grace -1, Donald -1, Kaymer Par, Knox Par, Pieters +1, Fitzpatrick +1, Warren +1, Reed +3, Stenson +4, Jaidee +5, Donaldson +8, Holmes +8, Lovemark +10. The cut line is currently +2, which is only five shots off the lead so anything could happen today. The weather could be crucial.
Shane Lowry 20/1 +5 Tied 103rd
Rafael Cabrera Bello 30/1 -1 Tied 11th
David Lingmerth 35/1 +10 Tied 147th
Kiradech Aphibarnrat 66/1 +4 Tied 89th
Thorbjorn Olesen 70/1 +6 Tied 113th
Mike Lorenzo Vera 350/1 +2 Tied 56th

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
