Round two is in the books at the very expensive Kingsbarns course in Fife, Scotland, 20 minutes away from the home of golf in St. Andrews, an American creation on the North Sea, neither a true links nor a parkland course, but beautiful all the same.

This Ricoh Women's British Open is a nice bone thrown to the owners who have  hosted the Albert Dunhill Championship along with Carnoustie and the Old Course since their inception in 2000 by Art Dunkley, Californian owner of Kingsbarns.

In the 18th century the Merchants and Lairds of Kingsbarns drafted articles to form the Kingsbarns Golfing Society so golf has been enjoyed over the links land beginning in 1793. It's a long story but basically the nine hole course was turned over for arable farm land during WWII, until Dunkley and his team designed this new gem in an old neighbourhood.

Brooke Henderson and Alena Sharp ( who missed the cut) are the two Canadians in the field as we head into this weekend with round 3 under way in cool, breezy rainy conditions, the late wave,( ie the leaders) will have the worst of this weather and that includes Brooke. She started today at -4 after rounds of 70 70 -4.

In round 1 she had 5 birdies, but 3 bogey's with 31 putts and 9/14 fairways hit, but 15/18 greens in regulation, in other words she scrambled pretty well.  She was was steady eddie in round 2, no bogey's at all, 2 birdies, 11/14 fairways and 16/18 greens, but again 32 putts on these huge greens.

So Brooke has work to do, especially on the greens today if she is going to get into contention. She has made the turn at +1 37, -3 total, 8 behind the leader.

This morning Inbee Park went out in the best of the weather and took the course apart, -8 64 to move to -10, with only 22 putts, 10 less than Brooke to highlight my point. Stacy Lewis playing with Inbee shot -7 65 with only 27 putts, and she has moved up to -9 after closing with 4 straight birdies.

The leader, just teeing off is another South Korean, straight hitting #21 ranked, In-Kyung Kim 65, 68 -11 and she is paired with England's Georgia Hall 68 67 -9.
