There is a saying at Turnberry " If you can't see Ailsa Craig it's raining, if you can see it, it's going to rain" For the uninitiated Ailsa Craig is a huge granite rock off the Ayrshire coast adjacent to the course, which provides the granite for most of the world's curling stones.
Well it rained and blew as it often does on Friday and Suzann Pettersen went out early and shot 69 to get to -7 and as I wrote yesterday, that score stood up all day and she has a two shot lead going into today's 3rd round, now underway.
It's blowing again today although the rain isn't scheduled to arrive again until tomorrow, and it's cold. https://www.google.ca/?gws_rd=ssl#q=weather+forecast+for+turnberry+Scotland
Only 2 players broke 70, Maria McBride from Sweden shot 66, a quarter of the field shot 80 or worse. Pettersen's change to Butch Harmon has revived her game, and she was in complete control and oozing confidence in terrible conditions.
Lydia Ko shot 73 and she is at -5 along with Teresa Lu (71), So Yeon Ryu (72) and Jin-Young Ko (70) while Inbee Park, seeking to complete the career sweep of the majors, also shot a 73, -2 in total.
Canadian scores : Brooke Henderson and Alena Sharp both made the cut. Henderson shot 75 and is +4 while Sharp is +5 after her 77.
